Field Detail

SELF

static final String SELF
A special profile id representing the profile of the currently running system. This constant can be used when invoking getProfile(String) to obtain the profile of the currently running system. Note that a given profile registry may not have a defined self profile, for example if the running system doesn't have a profile, or resides in a different profile registry.

Constant Field Values

SERVICE_NAME

static final String SERVICE_NAME
Service name constant for the profile registry service.

Method Detail

getProfile

IProfile getProfile(String id)
Return the profile in the registry that has the given id. If it does not exist, then return null.

Parameters:
id - the profile identifier
Returns:
the profile or null

getProfile

IProfile getProfile(String id,
                    long timestamp)
Return the profile in the registry that has the given id and timestamp. If it does not exist, then return null.

Parameters:
id - the profile identifier
timestamp - the profile's timestamp
Returns:
the profile or null

listProfileTimestamps

long[] listProfileTimestamps(String id)
Return an array of timestamps in ascending order for the profile id in question. If there are none, then return an empty array.

Parameters:
id - the id of the profile to list timestamps for
Returns:
the array of timestamps

getProfiles

IProfile[] getProfiles()
Return an array of profiles known to this registry. If there are none, then return an empty array.

Returns:
the array of profiles

addProfile

IProfile addProfile(String id)
                    throws ProvisionException
Add the given profile to this profile registry.

Parameters:
id - the profile id
Returns:
the new empty profile
Throws:
ProvisionException - if a profile with the same id is already present in the registry.

addProfile

IProfile addProfile(String id,
                    Map<String,String> properties)
                    throws ProvisionException
Add the given profile to this profile registry.

Parameters:
id - the profile id
properties - the profile properties
Returns:
the new empty profile
Throws:
ProvisionException - if a profile with the same id is already present in the registry.

containsProfile

boolean containsProfile(String profileId)
Returns whether this profile registry contains a profile with the given id.

Parameters:
profileId - The id of the profile to search for
Returns:
true if this registry contains a profile with the given id, and false otherwise.

removeProfile

void removeProfile(String id,
                   long timestamp)
                   throws ProvisionException
Remove the given profile snapshot from this profile registry. This method has no effect if this registry does not contain a profile with the given id and timestamp. The current profile cannot be removed using this method. When a particular profile state is removed from the registry, the corresponding profile state properties for that particular state are also removed.

Parameters:
id - the profile to remove
timestamp - the timestamp of the profile to remove
Throws:
ProvisionException - if the profile with the specified id and timestamp is the current profile.

removeProfile

void removeProfile(String id)
Remove the given profile from this profile registry. This method has no effect if this registry does not contain a profile with the given id. When a profile is removed from the registry, all of its associated profile state properties are removed as well.

Parameters:
id - the profile to remove

isCurrent

boolean isCurrent(IProfile profile)
Check if the given profile from this profile registry is up-to-date.

Parameters:
profile - the profile to check
Returns:
boolean true if the profile is current; false otherwise.

setProfileStateProperties

IStatus setProfileStateProperties(String id,
                                  long timestamp,
                                  Map<String,String> properties)
Set properties on a specific profile state. Overwrite existing properties if present.

Parameters:
id - the identifier of the profile
timestamp - the timestamp of the profile
properties - the properties to set on the profile
Returns:
status object indicating success or failure
Throws:
NullPointerException - if either id or properties are null
Since:
2.1

setProfileStateProperty

IStatus setProfileStateProperty(String id,
                                long timestamp,
                                String key,
                                String value)
Set a specific property on a specific profile state. Overwrite existing properties if present.

Use of this method is discouraged if multiple properties will be set on the same state since the implementation of this method may access the file-system with each call. Callers should use setProfileStateProperties(String, long, Map) instead.

Parameters:
id - the profile identifier
timestamp - the timestamp of the profile
key - the property key to set
value - the property value to set
Returns:
status object indicating success or failure
Throws:
NullPointerException - if any of id, key or value is null
Since:
2.1

getProfileStateProperties

Map<String,String> getProfileStateProperties(String id,
                                             long timestamp)
Return all properties for a particular profile state. Both the key and the values are String. Return an empty map if there was a problem accessing the properties.

There is no guarantee that all state timestamps returned will still exist in the registry since the user could delete profile states from the file system.

Parameters:
id - the profile identifier
timestamp - the profile timestamp
Returns:
a property map of key value pairs. An empty map if the profile state has no properties or does not exist
Throws:
NullPointerException - if profile id is null.
Since:
2.1

getProfileStateProperties

Map<String,String> getProfileStateProperties(String id,
                                             String key)
Return a map of profile timestamps to values for all profile states that contain the given property key. Both the key and value are of type String. Return an empty map if there was a problem accessing the properties.

There is no guarantee that all state timestamps returned will still exist in the registry since the user could delete profile states from the file system.

Parameters:
id - the profile identifier
key - the property key
Returns:
A map of timestamp and values for the given key. An empty map if no states define the given key.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the profile id or key is null.
Since:
2.1

removeProfileStateProperties

IStatus removeProfileStateProperties(String id,
                                     long timestamp,
                                     Collection<String> keys)
Remove all properties with matching keys from the given profile state. Non-existent keys are ignored. If the state does not exist the method performs a no-op and returns normally. If the keys parameter is null then remove all properties from the profile state.

Parameters:
id - the profile identifier
timestamp - the profile timestamp
keys - the property keys to remove, or null
Returns:
a status object indicating success or failure
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the profile id is null.
Since:
2.1
