isMember

boolean isMember(String uniqueIdOfPrincipal,
                 boolean recursive)

Returns true if the passed principal is a member of the collection. This method does a recursive search if parameter recursive is set to true. If a principal belongs to a collection which is a member of this collection, true is returned.

Parameters:

uniqueIdOfPrincipal - - the uniqueId of the principal whose membership is to be checked.

recursive - If set to true a recursive search is done.

Returns:

true if the principal is a member of this collection, false otherwise.

addMember

boolean addMember(String newMember)
                  throws UMException

Add the specified member to the collection. After setting the appropriate data this object must be commited to the principal store via IPrincipalMaint.commit().

Parameters:

newMember - - the uniqueId of the object to add to this collection.

Returns:

:true if the member was successfully added.

Throws:

UMException - if an error occurs

removeMember

boolean removeMember(String oldMember)
                     throws UMException

Remove the specified member from the collection. After setting the appropriate data this object must be commited to the user store via IPrincipalMaint.commit().
