Interface IMutableTypeManager

All Superinterfaces:

ITypeManager

public interface IMutableTypeManager

extends ITypeManager

Read-And-Write interface describing a repository sub manager to create, update or delete general objects known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to serialize it in order to store it) without handling the resources directly, i.e. just create, update or delete a resource handling only the "casted" (ITypeManager) default object.

IResourceHandle	createResource(Object resourceObject, IResourceCreateDescriptor resourceCreateDescriptor) Create resource based on given resource object known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to identify and serialize it in order to create it) and the given creation descriptor for the resource.
void	deleteResource(Object resourceObject) Delete resource based on given resource object known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to identify it in order to delete it).
IResourceHandle	updateResource(Object resourceObject, IResourceCreateDescriptor resourceCreateDescriptor) Update resource based on given resource object known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to identify and serialize it in order to update it) and the given update descriptor for the resource.

Method Detail

createResource

public IResourceHandle createResource(Object resourceObject,
                                      IResourceCreateDescriptor resourceCreateDescriptor)
                               throws ResourceException

Create resource based on given resource object known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to identify and serialize it in order to create it) and the given creation descriptor for the resource. The resource object will be identified and serialized, a resource for it will be created and the serialized resource object will be stored therein, obeying the creation descriptor for the resource.

Parameters:

resourceObject - resource object

resourceCreateDescriptor - creation descriptor for the resource

Returns:

resource handle of the created resource

Throws:

ResourceException - when either the resource object is null, the creation descriptor is either null or invalid or the identification/serialization/creation failed

updateResource

public IResourceHandle updateResource(Object resourceObject,
                                      IResourceCreateDescriptor resourceCreateDescriptor)
                               throws ResourceException

Update resource based on given resource object known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to identify and serialize it in order to update it) and the given update descriptor for the resource. The resource object will be identified and serialized, the resource for it will be updated by storing the serialized resource object therein, obeying the update descriptor for the resource.

Parameters:

resourceObject - resource object

resourceCreateDescriptor - update descriptor for the resource

Returns:

resource handle of the updated resource

Throws:

ResourceException - when either the resource object is null, the update descriptor is either null or invalid or the identification/serialization/update failed

deleteResource

public void deleteResource(Object resourceObject)
                    throws ResourceException

Delete resource based on given resource object known to the implementing repository (i.e. it's known how to identify it in order to delete it). The resource object will be identified and deleted.

Parameters:

resourceObject - resource object

Throws:

ResourceException - when either the resource object is null or the identification/deletion failed
