Interface CompositionEnablerLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface CompositionEnablerLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving CompositionEnablers.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects.

• comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
• plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition
• isolated repository view: All composition enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to composition enablers defined explicitly in the current repository. Using an isolated view is useful for managing CompositionEnablers with the CompositionEnablerAdminSession.
• federated repository view: All composition enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all composition enablers defined in this repository and any other composition enablers implicitly available in this repository through repository inheritence.
• active composition enabler view: All composition enabler lookup methods return active composition enablers.
• any status composition enabler view: Composition enablers of any active or inactive status are returned from methods.

canLookupCompositionEnablers

boolean canLookupCompositionEnablers()

Tests if this user can perform CompositionEnablers lookups. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known all 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 lookup methods are not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useComparativeCompositionEnablerView
