OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.PoolConstrainerEnablerLookupSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.PoolConstrainerEnablerLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving `PoolConstrainerEnablers.` This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects. comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition isolated distributor view: All pool constrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to pool constrainer enablers defined explicitly in the current distributor. Using an isolated view is useful for managing `PoolConstrainerEnablers` with the `PoolConstrainerEnablerAdminSession.` federated distributor view: All pool constrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all pool constrainer enablers defined in this distributor and any other pool constrainer enablers implicitly available in this distributor through distributor inheritence. active pool constrainer enabler view: All pool constrainer enabler lookup methods return active pool constrainer enablers. any status pool constrainer enabler view: Pool constrainer enablers of any active or inactive status are returned from methods. Generally, the comparative view should be used for most applications as it permits operation even if there is data that cannot be accessed. The methods `useFederatedDistributorView()` and `useIsolatedDistributorView()` behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking the methods in this session.
Method	getDistributorId
Description	Gets the `Distributor` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Distributor Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getDistributor
Description	Gets the `Distributor` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.provisioning.Distributor`		the distributor

A return of false indicates that it is known all 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.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if lookup methods are not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativePoolConstrainerEnablerView
Description	The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	usePlenaryPoolConstrainerEnablerView
Description	A complete view of the `PoolConstrainerEnabler` returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
