Interface JobAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

All Known Subinterfaces:

JobBatchAdminSession

public interface JobAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Jobs. 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 Job, a JobForm is requested using getJobFormForCreate() specifying the desired relationship peers and record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned JobForm 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 JobForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each JobForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

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

The delete operations delete Jobs. To unmap a Job from the current Foundry, the JobFormAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the Job 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.

Returns:

the Foundry Id associated with this session

Compliance:

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

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateJobs

boolean canCreateJobs()

Tests if this user can create Jobs. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a Job will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer create operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if Job creation is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateJobWithRecordTypes

boolean canCreateJobWithRecordTypes(Type[] jobRecordTypes)

Tests if this user can create a single Job using the desired record types. While ResourcingManager.getJobRecordTypes() can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific Job. Providing an empty array tests if a Job can be created with no records.

Parameters:

jobRecordTypes - array of job record types

Returns:

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

Throws:

NullArgumentException - jobRecordTypes is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getJobFormForCreate

JobForm getJobFormForCreate(Type[] jobRecordTypes)
                            throws OperationFailedException,
                                   PermissionDeniedException

Gets the job form for creating new jobs. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.

Parameters:

jobRecordTypes - array of job record types

Returns:

the job form

Throws:

NullArgumentException - jobRecordTypes is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - unable to get form with requested record types

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

createJob

Job createJob(JobForm jobForm)
              throws OperationFailedException,
                     PermissionDeniedException

Creates a new Job.

Parameters:

jobForm - the form for this Job

Returns:

the new Job

Throws:

IllegalStateException - jobForm already used in a create transaction

InvalidArgumentException - one or more of the form elements is invalid

NullArgumentException - jobForm is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - jobForm did not orginiate from getJobFormForCreate()

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canUpdateJobs

boolean canUpdateJobs()

Tests if this user can update Jobs. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating a Job will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer update operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if Job modification is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getJobFormForUpdate

JobForm getJobFormForUpdate(Id jobId)
                            throws NotFoundException,
