Interface ISession

  • All Superinterfaces:
    ServiceInterface
    public interface ISession
extends ServiceInterface
    Start here: Session creation service for OMERO. Access to all other services is dependent upon a properly created and still active Session. The session's uuid can be considered a capability token, or temporary single use password. Simply by possessing it the client has access to all information available to the Session. Note: Both the RMI ServiceFactory as well as the Ice omero.api.ServiceFactoryPrx use ISession to acquire a Session. In the RMI case, the ISession instance is the first remote proxy accessed. In the Ice case, Glacier2 contacts ISession itself and returns a ServiceFactory remote proxy. From both ServiceFactory instances, it is possible but not necessary to access ISession.
    Since:
    3.0-Beta3

    • Method Detail

      • createUserSession

        ome.model.meta.Session createUserSession​(long timeToLiveMilliseconds,
                                         long timeToIdleMillisecond,
                                         java.lang.String defaultGroup)
        Allows a user to open up another session for him/herself with the given defaults without needing to re-enter password.

      • createSessionWithTimeout

        ome.model.meta.Session createSessionWithTimeout​(Principal principal,
                                                long timeToLiveMilliseconds)
        Allows an admin to create a Session for the give Principal
        Parameters:
        principal - Non-null Principal with the target user's name
        timeToLiveMilliseconds - The time that this Session has until destruction. This is useful to override the server default so that an initial delay before the user is given the token will not be construed as idle time. A value less than 1 will cause the default max

      • createSessionWithTimeouts

        ome.model.meta.Session createSessionWithTimeouts​(Principal principal,
                                                 long timeToLiveMilliseconds,
                                                 long timeToIdleMilliseconds)
        Allows an admin to create a Session for the give Principal
        Parameters:
        principal - Non-null Principal with the target user's name
        timeToLiveMilliseconds - The time that this Session has until destruction. Setting the value to 0 will prevent destruction unless the session remains idle.
        timeToIdleMilliseconds - The time that this Session can remain idle before being destroyed. Setting the value to 0 will prevent idleness

      • createSession

        ome.model.meta.Session createSession​(Principal principal,
                                     java.lang.String credentials)
        Creates a new session and returns it to the user.
        Throws:
        ome.conditions.ApiUsageException - if principal is null
        ome.conditions.SecurityViolation - if the password check fails

      • getSession

        ome.model.meta.Session getSession​(java.lang.String sessionUuid)
        Retrieves the session associated with this uuid, updating the last access time as well. Throws a RemovedSessionException if not present, or a SessionTimeoutException if expired. This method can be used as a Session ping.

      • getReferenceCount

        int getReferenceCount​(java.lang.String sessionUuid)
        Retrieves the current reference count for the given uuid. Has the same semantics as getSession(String).

      • closeSession

        int closeSession​(ome.model.meta.Session session)
        Closes session and releases all resources. It is preferred that all clients call this method as soon as possible to free memory, but it is possible to not call close, and rejoin a session later. The current reference count for the session is returned. If the session does not exist, -1. If this call caused the death of the session, then -2.

      • getMyOpenSessions

        java.util.List<ome.model.meta.Session> getMyOpenSessions()
        Returns a list of open sessions for the current user. The list is ordered by session creation time, so that the last item was created last.

      • getMyOpenAgentSessions

        java.util.List<ome.model.meta.Session> getMyOpenAgentSessions​(java.lang.String agent)
        Like getMyOpenSessions() but returns only those sessions with the given agent string.

      • getMyOpenClientSessions

        java.util.List<ome.model.meta.Session> getMyOpenClientSessions()
        Like getMyOpenSessions() but returns only those sessions started by official OMERO clients.
