Interface AvailabilityFoundrySession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface AvailabilityFoundrySession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to retrieve Availability to Foundry availabilities. An Availability may appear in multiple Foundry objects. Each foundry may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it.

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

Method Detail

canLookupAvailabilityFoundryAvailabilities

boolean canLookupAvailabilityFoundryAvailabilities()

Tests if this user can perform lookups of availability/foundry 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 availabilities is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useComparativeAvailabilityFoundryView

void useComparativeAvailabilityFoundryView()

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.

usePlenaryAvailabilityFoundryView

void usePlenaryAvailabilityFoundryView()

A complete view of the Availability and Foundry 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.
