OSID - osid.resourcing.CommissionAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.resourcing.CommissionAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Implemented By	`osid.resourcing.batch.CommissionBatchAdminSession`
Used By	`osid.resourcing.ResourcingManager`
Used By	`osid.resourcing.ResourcingProxyManager`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `Commissions`. 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 `Commission`, a `CommissionForm` is requested using `getCommissionFormForCreate()` specifying the desired relationship peers and record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `CommissionForm` 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 `CommissionForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `CommissionForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `CommissionForms` are requested to the `Commission` `Id` that is to be updated using `getCommissionFormForUpdate()`. Similarly, the `CommissionForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `CommissionForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `Commissions`. To unmap a `Commission` from the current `Foundry`, the `CommissionFoundryAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `Commission` 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.

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getFoundry
Description	Gets the `Foundry` associated with this session.

Method	canCreateCommissionWithRecordTypes
