Interface IBookInstanceManager

All Known Subinterfaces:

PortalCustomizationManager

public interface IBookInstanceManager

This is the primary interface for performing persistent store operations on BookInstance objects. 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.

Most "Instances" can be thought of as objects tied to a desktop, An Admin has instances derived from the Library Definition, and the "end user" has instances derived from the admin instance. Changes made via these APIs require a DesktopDefinitionId and the changes are scoped to that desktop. In other words changes made here do not affect the Library or other Desktops. If the "visitorMode" on the customization Context is set the false (default) and the user executing the call is in the "Admin" or "PortalSystemAdministrator" role then these changes take affect at the admin level, and affect ALL users. If the visitorMode is false then the changes only affect the calling user.

                                      IllegalDependencyException

Add a NavigableDefinition (BookDefinition or PageDefinition) to the supplied Book Instance. This is the method you want to call if you want to add a page to a book for a particular user or if you are an admin effect all user.

Parameters:

desktopDefinitionId - the desktop context to which this update applies.

bookInstanceId - the book instance to add the navigable to.

navigableDefinitionId - the navigable defintion id from which to create the instance.

position - the position in the book (or menu) to insert this navigable (starts with 0)

align - position the page from the left (top) or right (bottom)

Returns:

the new Navigable (Page or Book) instance which was just created.

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - BookDefinitionId or the NavigableDefinition are bogus.

IllegalDependencyException - adding the Navigable to the BookInstance would cause a recursive dependancy
