Interface AntimatroidAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface AntimatroidAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Antimatroids. 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 an Antimatroid, an AntimatroidForm is requested using getAntimatroidFormForCreate() specifying the desired record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned AntimatroidForm 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 AntimatroidForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each AntimatroidForm corresponds to an attempted transinput.

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

The delete operations delete Antimatroids.

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

Method Detail

canCreateAntimatroids

boolean canCreateAntimatroids()

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

Returns:

false if Antimatroid creation is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateAntimatroidWithRecordTypes

boolean canCreateAntimatroidWithRecordTypes(Type[] antimatroidRecordTypes)

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

Parameters:

antimatroidRecordTypes - array of antimatroid record types

Returns:

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

Throws:

NullArgumentException - antimatroidRecordTypes is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAntimatroidFormForCreate

canUpdateAntimatroids

boolean canUpdateAntimatroids()

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

Returns:

false if Antimatroid modification is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
