Method Detail

getDefaultAttributes

IAttributeSet getDefaultAttributes(com.sap.security.api.IPrincipal user)
                            throws UnsupportedOperationException

Gets the object's default attributes

Parameters:

user - the user who has permissions to access the object's default attributes

Returns:

An IAttributeSet object

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - when nothing is returned (no default attributes exist)

instantiateDescriptor

Object instantiateDescriptor(CreateMethod createMethod,
                             String targetId,
                             com.sap.security.api.IPrincipal user)
                      throws com.sap.portal.pcm.ObjectNotFoundException,
                             com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException

Instantiates a descriptor for the new object creation based on a template object.

Parameters:

createMethod - the creation method for the new object, such as copy, delta-link, or link, defined by CreateMethod

targetId - a full JNDI url of the template target.

user - the user who has permissions to access the object's default attributes

Returns:

a descriptor object, depending on the specific semantic application implementation

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - on failure

OperationFailedException - on failure

instantiateDescriptor

Object instantiateDescriptor(com.sap.security.api.IPrincipal user)

Creates a descriptor for the new object creation.

Parameters:

user - the user who has permissions to access the object's default attributes

Returns:

a descriptor object, depending on the specific semantic application implementation

instantiateDescriptor

Object instantiateDescriptor(CreateMethod createMethod,
                             String[] targetIds,
                             com.sap.security.api.IPrincipal user)
                      throws com.sap.portal.pcm.ObjectNotFoundException,
                             com.sap.portal.pcm.OperationFailedException,
                             UnsupportedOperationException

Creates a descriptor for the new object creation based on a template object.

Parameters:

createMethod - the creation method for the new object, such as copy, delta-link, or link, defined by CreateMethod

targetIds - - An array of full JNDI urls of the template targets.

user - user

Returns:

Object the descriptor. Depends on each semantic application implementation.

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - on failure

OperationFailedException - on failure

UnsupportedOperationException
