Interface SessionOperations

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClientSdkOperations, LocalOperations, MonitoredOperations, StatelessOperations

public interface SessionOperations

Describes the ability to perform an operation on a Session. These operations are specific to the Session Service, therefore all will be keyed by the SessionID key. This abstraction layer is important as it will be implementation specific as to how this operation will be performed. Note: Session instances are the currency of the Session Service. The aptly titled SessionService deals with InternalSessions. The common currency between them is the SessionID which is suitably generic to use in this interface.

Method Detail

refresh

SessionInfo refresh(Session session,
                    boolean reset)
             throws SessionException

Performs a refresh of the Session and return a summary of the Session information. This will optionally update the last modified timestamp of the Session. Note: This method is inconsistent from the other two in that it requires a Session reference. This is because of a dependency which could not be resolved without substantial refactoring in the Remote implementation.

Parameters:

reset - If true, then update the last modified timestamp of the Session.

session - Reference to the Session.

Returns:

Null if there was an error locating the Session, otherwise non null.

Throws:

SessionException

destroy

void destroy(Session requester,
             Session session)
      throws SessionException

Destroys the Session by removing it and moving it to the DESTROY state. This operation is similar to the logout and uses similar behaviour.

Parameters:

requester - The requester's non null session used to authorize the destroy operation.

session - The non null session to destroy.

Throws:

SessionException - If there was an error while deleting the token.

setProperty

void setProperty(Session session,
                 String name,
                 String value)
          throws SessionException

Assigns the property to the Session.

Parameters:

session - The session to perform the set on.

name - Non null name of the property.

value - Non null value.

Throws:

SessionException - SessionException if the session reached its maximum session time, or the session was destroyed, or there was an error during communication with session service, or if the property name or value was null.

getSessionInfo

SessionInfo getSessionInfo(SessionID sessionId,
                           boolean reset)
                    throws SessionException

Get the Session Info Object from the Session ID.

Parameters:

sessionId - the Session Id of the required Session Info.

reset - if true will cause the last access time on the session to be updated.

Returns:

a Session Info object for the required session.

Throws:

SessionException - if the session could not be accessed.

addSessionListener

void addSessionListener(Session session,
                        String url)
                 throws SessionException

Add a session listener notification url. The url will receive a notification when session change events occur.

Parameters:

session - the session to listen to.

url - the listener notification url

Throws:

SessionException - if the session could not be accessed.

checkSessionExists

boolean checkSessionExists(SessionID sessionId)
                    throws SessionException

Check whether a session identified by {code sessionId} can be retrieved.

Parameters:

sessionId - the session ID to check.

Returns:

returns true if the session is local

Throws:

SessionException - if the session could not be accessed.

getRestrictedTokenId

String getRestrictedTokenId(SessionID masterSessionId,
                            TokenRestriction restriction)
                     throws SessionException

Gets the restricted token ID for a session.

Parameters:

masterSessionId - the master session id to get the restricted token id for

restriction - the Token Restriction type to use

Returns:

a Restricted token ID as a String

Throws:

SessionException - if the session could not be accessed.

deferenceRestrictedID

String deferenceRestrictedID(Session session,
                             SessionID restrictedID)
                      throws SessionException

Given a restricted token, returns the SSOTokenID of the master token can only be used if the requester is an app token

Parameters:

session - Must be an app token

restrictedID - The SSOTokenID of the restricted token

Returns:

The SSOTokenID string of the master token

Throws:

SessionException - If the master token cannot be de-referenced

setExternalProperty

void setExternalProperty(SSOToken clientToken,
                         SessionID sessionId,
                         String name,
                         String value)
                  throws SessionException

Sets an external property in the session. If the property is protected then it will throw a SessionException.

Parameters:

clientToken - SSO Token of the client setting external property.

sessionId - The Id of the session to set the property on

name - the name of the property

value - the new value of the property

Throws:

SessionException - If the Session could not be accessed or the property is protected.

logout

void logout(Session session)
     throws SessionException

Performs the logout operation on the Session. This operation is intended to destroy the Session and perform any appropriate Session related logic.

Parameters:

session - Session to logout.

Throws:

SessionException

resolveSession

Session resolveSession(SessionID sessionID)
                throws SessionException

Retrieves the Session from the Session ID.

Parameters:

sessionID - the ID of the session to resolve

Returns:

the Session Object

Throws:

SessionException - if the session could not be accessed.

getValidSessions

SearchResults<SessionInfo> getValidSessions(Session session,
                                            String pattern)
                                     throws SessionException

Returns all sessions which are accessible using the provided session for authorization, and which match the provided filter. Will return early if size or time limits are exceeded.

Parameters:

session - The session to use for authorization.

pattern - The pattern to use to match the sessions.

Returns:

The list of sessioninfos found, capped based on time and quantity.

Throws:

                                        throws SessionException

Returns partial sessions from the session service backend that matches the provided CREST query. The resultset size is limited by the session service's "iplanet-am-session-max-session-list-size" attribute. The returned sessions are only "partial" sessions, meaning that they do not represent the full session state.

Parameters:

crestQuery - The CREST query based on which we should look for matching sessions.

Returns:

The collection of matching partial sessions.

Throws:

SessionException - If the request fails.
