## com.bea.netuix.application.manager
Interface IMenuDefinitionManager

All Known Subinterfaces:
  BookDefinitionManager

    public interface IMenuDefinitionManager

This is the primary interface for performing persistent store operations on `MenuDefinitions`. In general this interface provides coarse grain getters and fine grain setters.

It is important to note that all methods on this interface are fully internationalized and entitled. All `titles` and `descriptions` on the objects returned by these methods are internationalized to the preferred locale. Also, all methods are entitled, meaning if the caller does not have the required credentials the method may return a subset of the actual list or be unable to perform the specified function.

"Definitions" can be thought of as objects in the library. Objects in the library are not associated to any one Desktop. In other words definitions can be placed on zero or more desktops and changes made in the library (to the definitions) are cascaded down to object on the desktops. If you are only interested in affecting a single desktop then use the `PortalCustomizationManager` and make changes to the "Instances".

This interface is intended to be implemented only by Oracle Weblogic Portal. Oracle 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 Oracle Weblogic Portal.

Method Detail

### getMenuView

    MenuView getMenuView(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                         MenuDefinitionId menuDefinitionId)
                         throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning an immutable deep `MenuView`. The `MenuView` object, unlike the `MenuDefinition` or the `MenuInstance` objects contains a full set of references to all child pages, menus and so on. The `MenuView` object, however is immutable.

  Parameters
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as preferred locales and desktopInstanceId
    `menuDefinitionId` - the unique menuDefinitionId.
  Returns
    an immutable deep MenuView object if one exists, otherwise null.
  Throws
    `RemoteException`

### getMenuDefinitions

    MenuDefinition[] getMenuDefinitions(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                        String webapp)
                                        throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning a list of all `MenuDefinitions` scoped to the supplied webapp.

  Parameters
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as preferred locales and desktopInstanceId
    `webapp` - the web application these menu definitions are scoped to.
  Returns
    an array of `MenuDefinition` objects if they exist, otherwise, an empty array.
  Throws
    `RemoteException`
  See Also
    `MenuDefinition`

### getMenuDefinitions

    MenuDefinition[] getMenuDefinitions(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                        String webapp,
                                        MenuDefinitionId firstMenuDefinitionId,
                                        int limit)
                                        throws RemoteException

  Returns `MenuDefinition`s in `definitionId` order (create order), starting with the supplied definitionId and limiting the result set to size `limit` If fewer `MenuDefinition`s exist than `limit`, then a smaller result set will be returned. If no definitions are found an empty array is returned. To start at the beginning of the list specify null as the `menuDefinitionId`. To retrieve from the end of the list and back specify null as the `menuDefinitionId` and a negative `limit`. To retrieve all the menuDefinitions in the database supply a limit of 0. The implmentation has to ensure that repeated calls to this method return `MenuDefinition`s in a consistent order.

  Parameters
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as preferred locales.
    `webapp` - the web application these menu definitions are scoped to.
    `firstMenuDefinitionId` - optional parameter to indicate where the list should start.
    `limit` - the maximum result set size. Note the limit may be negative indicating a reverse sort order. To retrieve all the records specify a limit of zero. Note: some elements may be pruned because of entitlements.
  Returns
    array of `MenuDefinition`s no greater than `limit` in size.
  Throws
    `RemoteException`
