Interface PoolConstrainerRuleLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface PoolConstrainerRuleLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to retrieve PoolConstrainer to Pool mappings. A Pool with multiple PoolConstrainers means any positive rule evaluation across the constrainers result in an accessible Pool.

This lookup session defines several views:

• comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
• plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
• isolated distributor view: All methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain pool constrainer defined explicitly in the current distributor
• federated distributor view: All methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all pool constrainer defined in this distributor and any other pool constrainer implicitly available in this distributor through distributor inheritence.

Method Detail

getDistributorId

Id getDistributorId()

Gets the Distributor Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Distributor Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getDistributor

Distributor getDistributor()
                           throws OperationFailedException,
                                  PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Distributor associated with this session.

Returns:

the distributor

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canLookupPoolConstrainerRules

boolean canLookupPoolConstrainerRules()

Tests if this user can perform lookups of pool constrainer/pool mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if looking up mappings is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useComparativePoolConstrainerRuleView

void useComparativePoolConstrainerRuleView()

The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

usePlenaryPoolConstrainerRuleView

void usePlenaryPoolConstrainerRuleView()

A complete view of the PoolConstrainer and Pool returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useFederatedDistributorView

void useFederatedDistributorView()

Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include pool constrainer in distributors which are children of this distributor in the distributor hierarchy.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useIsolatedDistributorView

void useIsolatedDistributorView()

Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this distributor only.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

getPoolConstrainerIdsForPool

IdList getPoolConstrainerIdsForPool(Id poolId)
                                    throws NotFoundException,
                                           OperationFailedException,
                                           PermissionDeniedException

Gets the PoolConstrainer Id associated with a Pool.

Parameters:

poolId - Id of the Pool

Returns:

the pool constrainer Ids

Throws:

NotFoundException - poolId is not found

NullArgumentException - poolId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getPoolConstrainersForPool

PoolConstrainerList getPoolConstrainersForPool(Id poolId)
                                               throws NotFoundException,
                                                      OperationFailedException,
                                                      PermissionDeniedException

Gets the PoolConstrainer associated with a Pool.

Parameters:

poolId - Id of the Pool

Returns:

the pool constrainers

Throws:

NotFoundException - poolId is not found

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getPoolIdsForPoolConstrainer

IdList getPoolIdsForPoolConstrainer(Id poolConstrainerId)
