Interface ICapabilityManager

public interface ICapabilityManager

Interface for managing and evaluating capability definitions

Note: new methods may be added to this interface periodically -- therefore, this not a good CM extension point. The recommended extension point is at the Service Provider Interface, in package com.bea.content.spi.

This interface is intended to be implemented only by BEA Weblogic Portal. BEA Systems reserves the right to add abstract methods to this interface without notice. Implementations of this interface by other parties must not be expected to compile without change in future versions of BEA Weblogic Portal.

Method Summary

CapabilityLevel	checkRepositoryCapability(ContentContext context, ICapabilityDefinition capabilityDef, String repoName) Determine support for the specified capability definition in the specified repository
Set<ICapabilityDefinition>	getCapabilityDefsOfType(ContentContext context, CapabilityType type, String repoName) Retrieve all capability definitions of the specified type, for the specified repository
Set<ICapabilityDefinition>	getRepositoryDefinedCapabilities(ContentContext context, String repoName) Create a capability definition referring to the specified named capability definition.

Method Detail

getRepositoryDefinedCapabilities

Set<ICapabilityDefinition> getRepositoryDefinedCapabilities(ContentContext context,
                                                            String repoName)
                                                            throws AuthenticationException,
                                                                   RepositoryException

Create a capability definition referring to the specified named capability definition. Named capabilities are non-standardized and are repo-specific. Validation will occur when the capability definition is checked against a repository.

Parameters

context - the content context

repoName - the repository name

Returns

a set of all repository defined capability definitions

Throws

AuthenticationException - - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.

RepositoryException - - for any other exception

getCapabilityDefsOfType

Set<ICapabilityDefinition> getCapabilityDefsOfType(ContentContext context,
                                                   CapabilityType type,
                                                   String repoName)
                                                   throws AuthenticationException,
                                                          RepositoryException

Retrieve all capability definitions of the specified type, for the specified repository

Parameters

context - the content context

type - the capability type to retrieve

repoName - the repository name

Returns

a set of all capability definitions

Throws

AuthenticationException - - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.

RepositoryException - - for any other exception

checkRepositoryCapability

CapabilityLevel checkRepositoryCapability(ContentContext context,
                                          ICapabilityDefinition capabilityDef,
                                          String repoName)
                                          throws AuthenticationException,
                                                 RepositoryException

Determine support for the specified capability definition in the specified repository

Parameters

context - the ContentContext object

capabilityDef - the capability definition to evaluate

repoName - the repository name

Returns

the specified repository's capability level for the specified capability definition

Throws

AuthenticationException - - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.

RepositoryException - - for any other exception
