OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.PoolProcessorEnablerLookupSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.PoolProcessorEnablerLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving `PoolProcessorEnablers`. This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects. comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition isolated distributor view: All pool processor enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to pool processor enablers defined explicitly in the current distributor Using an isolated view is useful for managing `PoolProcessorEnablers` with the `PoolProcessorEnablerAdminSession`. federated distributor view: All pool processor enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all pool processor enablers defined in this distributor and any other pool processor enablers implicitly available in this distributor through distributor inheritence. Generally, the comparative view should be used for most applications as it permits operation even if there is data that cannot be accessed. The methods `useFederatedDistributorView()` and `useIsolatedDistributorView() be` have as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking any lookup methods.
Method	getDistributorId
Description	Gets the `Distributor` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Distributor Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getDistributor
Description	Gets the `Distributor` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.provisioning.Distributor`		the distributor
Errors	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
Errors	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canLookupPoolProcessorEnablers
Description	Tests if this user can perform `PoolProcessorEnabler` lookups. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known all methods in this session will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED` .This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if lookup methods are not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativePoolProcessorEnablerView
Description	The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	usePlenaryPoolProcessorEnablerView
Description	A complete view of the `PoolProcessorEnabler` returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useFederatedDistributorView
Description	Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include pool processor enablers in distributors which are children of this distributor in the distributor hierarchy.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
