Interface ProcessEnablerRuleApplicationSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface ProcessEnablerRuleApplicationSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to apply ProcessEnablers to Processs. A Process with multiple ProcessEnablers means any positive rule evaluation across the constrainers result in an accessible Process.

Method Detail

getOfficeId

Id getOfficeId()

Gets the Office Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Office Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getOffice

Office getOffice()
                 throws OperationFailedException,
                        PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Office associated with this session.

Returns:

the office

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignProcessEnablers

boolean canAssignProcessEnablers()

Tests if this user can alter process enabler/process mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping 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 mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignProcessEnablerToProcess

void assignProcessEnablerToProcess(Id processEnablerId,
                                 Id processId)
                                   throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                          NotFoundException,
                                          OperationFailedException,
                                          PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing ProcessEnabler to a Process.

Parameters:

processEnablerId - the Id of the ProcessEnabler

processId - the Id of the Process

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - processEnablerId is already applied to processId

NotFoundException - processEnablerId or processId not found

NullArgumentException - processEnablerId or processId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignProcessEnablerFromProcess

void unassignProcessEnablerFromProcess(Id processEnablerId,
                                     Id processId)
                                       throws NotFoundException,
                                              OperationFailedException,
                                              PermissionDeniedException

Removes a ProcessEnabler from a Process.

Parameters:

processEnablerId - the Id of the ProcessEnabler

processId - the Id of the Process

Throws:

NotFoundException - processEnablerId or processId not found or processEnablerId not applied to processId

NullArgumentException - processEnablerId or processId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canSequenceProcessEnablers

boolean canSequenceProcessEnablers()

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

Returns:

false if ProcessEnabler ordering is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveProcessEnablerAhead

void moveProcessEnablerAhead(Id processEnablerId,
                           Id processId,
