Interface AvailabilityLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface AvailabilityLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session defines methods for retrieving availabilities.

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 foundry view: All availability methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to availabilities defined explicitly in the current foundry. Using an isolated view is useful for managing Availabilities with the AvailabilityAdminSession.
• federated foundry view: All availability lookup methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all availabilities defined in this foundry and any other availabilities implicitly available in this foundry through foundry inheritence.
• effective availability view: All availability lookup methods return availabilities where the current date falls in between the effective dates inclusive.
• any effective availability view: Availabilities of any effective date are returned from methods.

The methods useFederatedFoundryView() and useIsolatedFoundryView() behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking any lookup methods.

Availabilities may have an additional records indicated by their respective record types. The record may not be accessed through a cast of the Availabilities.

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canLookupAvailabilities

boolean canLookupAvailabilities()

Tests if this user can perform Availability 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 not offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

false if lookup methods are not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useComparativeAvailabilityView
