public interface CommissionAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Commissions. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a Commission, a CommissionForm is requested using getCommissionFormForCreate() specifying the desired relationship peers and record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned CommissionForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the CommissionForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each CommissionForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, CommissionForms are requested to the Commission Id that is to be updated using getCommissionFormForUpdate(). Similarly, the CommissionForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The CommissionForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete Commissions. To unmap a Commission from the current Foundry, the CommissionFoundryAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the Commission itself thus removing it from all known Foundry catalogs.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id.

Method Detail

getFoundryId

Id getFoundryId()

Gets the Foundry Id associated with this session.

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getFoundry

Foundry getFoundry()
                   throws OperationFailedException,
                          PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Foundry associated with this session.

Returns:

the foundry

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

canCreateCommissions

boolean canCreateCommissions()

Tests if this user can create Commissions. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a Commission will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED.

canCreateCommissionWithRecordTypes

boolean canCreateCommissionWithRecordTypes(Type[] commissionRecordTypes)

Tests if this user can create a single Commission using the desired record types.

Providing an empty array tests if a Commission can be created with no records.

Parameters:

commissionRecordTypes - array of commission record types

true if Commission creation using the specified record Types is supported, false otherwise

NullArgumentException - commissionRecordTypes is null

                                        Type[] commissionRecordTypes)
