Interface ILookAndFeelDefinitionManager

All Known Subinterfaces:
LookAndFeelDefinitionManager

public interface ILookAndFeelDefinitionManager

This is the primary interface for performing persistent store operations on LookAndFeelDefinitions. 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 prefered 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.

Method Detail

createLookAndFeelDefinition

public LookAndFeelDefinition createLookAndFeelDefinition(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                                         LookAndFeelDefinition lookAndFeelDefinition)

                                                         NotEntitledException

Creates a new LookAndFeelView Definition. While look and feels can be created by this method they should be created via a .laf file. The .laf file may be located anywhere in the webapp directory and immediately gets picked up by the system.

Parameters:
customizationContext - customization information such as preferred locales and http request.
lookAndFeelDefinition - the lookAndFeel data and associated placeholders
Returns:
a fully populated LookAndFeelDefinition
Throws:
MissingDataException - the lookAndFeelDefiniiton supplied as an argument is missing some vital data.
NotEntitledException - the caller is not entitled to create a new lookAndFeel.
RemoteException

                                 throws RemoteException,
                                        ObjectNotFoundException,
                                        ObjectInUseException,
                                        NotEntitledException

Delete a lookAndFeel definition. Note if the .laf file still exist the look and feel will get recreated. This method is for deleting a look and feel after the .laf file has been deleted.

Parameters:
customizationContext - customization information such as preferred locales and desktopInstanceId returned.
lookAndFeelDefinitionId - the id of the lookAndFeel definition to delete.
Throws:
ObjectNotFoundException - if the lookAndFeelDefinitionId is bogus
ObjectInUseException - if page instances are currently using this lookAndFeel
NotEntitledException - the caller is not entitled to perform this operation.

Delete a lookAndFeel definition (and its skins, skeletons and themes) and replace any uses of that lookAndFeel with a replacement lookAndFeel. This method is useful for deleting a lookAndFeel that is in use by desktop instances and not having to delete those dektopinstances instances. Note if the .laf file still exist the look and feel will get recreated. This method is for deleting a look and feel after the .laf file has been deleted.

Parameters:
customizationContext - customization information such as preferred locales and request.
deleteLookAndFeelDefinitionId - the id of the lookAndFeel definition to delete.
replacementLookAndFeelDefinitionId - the id of the replacement lookAndFeel
Throws:

To start at the beginning of the list specify null as the lookAndFeelDefinitionId. To retrieve from the end of the list and back specify null as the lookAndFeelDefinitionId and a negative limit. To retrieve all the lookAndFeelDefinitions in the database supply a limit of 0.
Implementation has to ensure that repeated calls to this method return LookAndFeelDefinitions in a consistent order.

Parameters:
customizationContext - customization information such as preferred locales.
webapp - the web application these lookAndFeel definitions are scoped to.
firstLookAndFeelDefinitionId - 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. For all the records specify a limit of zero. Note: some elements may be pruned because of entitlements.
Returns:
