Interface EdgeGraphAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface EdgeGraphAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to re-assign Edges to Graph objects An Edge may appear in multiple Graph objects and removing the last reference to an Edge is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Graph may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of an Edge to another Graph is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).

Method Detail

canAssignEdges

boolean canAssignEdges()

Tests if this user can alter edge/graph 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 assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignEdgesToGraph

boolean canAssignEdgesToGraph(Id graphId)

Tests if this user can alter edge/graph 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 assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Parameters:

graphId - the Id of the Graph

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - graphId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableGraphIds

IdList getAssignableGraphIds(Id graphId)
                             throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of graphs including and under the given graph node in which any edge can be assigned.

Parameters:

graphId - the Id of the Graph

Returns:

list of assignable graph Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - graphId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableGraphIdsForEdge

IdList getAssignableGraphIdsForEdge(Id graphId,
                                  Id edgeId)
                                    throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of graphs including and under the given graph node in which a specific edge can be assigned.

Parameters:

graphId - the Id of the Graph

edgeId - the Id of the Edge

Returns:

list of assignable graph Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - graphId or edgeId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignEdgeToGraph

void assignEdgeToGraph(Id edgeId,
                     Id graphId)
                       throws AlreadyExistsException,
                              NotFoundException,
                              OperationFailedException,
                              PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing Edge to a Graph.

Parameters:

edgeId - the Id of the Edge

graphId - the Id of the Graph

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - edgeId is already assigned to graphId

NotFoundException - edgeId or graphId not found

NullArgumentException - edgeId or graphId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignEdgeFromGraph

void unassignEdgeFromGraph(Id edgeId,
                         Id graphId)
                           throws NotFoundException,
                                  OperationFailedException,
                                  PermissionDeniedException

Removes an Edge from a Graph.

Parameters:

edgeId - the Id of the Edge

graphId - the Id of the Graph

Throws:

NotFoundException - edgeId or graphId not found or edgeId not assigned to graphId

NullArgumentException - edgeId or graphId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

reassignEdgeToGraph

void reassignEdgeToGraph(Id edgeId,
                       Id fromGraphId,
                       Id toGraphId)
                         throws NotFoundException,
                                OperationFailedException,
                                PermissionDeniedException

Moves an Edge from one Graph to another. Mappings to other Graphs are unaffected.

Parameters:

edgeId - the Id of the Edge

fromGraphId - the Id of the current Graph

toGraphId - the Id of the destination Graph

Throws:

NotFoundException - edgeId, fromGraphId, or toGraphId not found or edgeId not mapped to fromGraphId

NullArgumentException - edgeId, fromGraphId, or toGraphId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
