## com.bea.netuix.application.manager
Interface IShellDefinitionManager

All Known Subinterfaces:
  ShellDefinitionManager

public interface IShellDefinitionManager

This is the primary interface for performing persistent store operations on `ShellDefinitions`. In general this interface provides coarse grain getters and fine grain setters.

It is important to note that all methods on this interface are fully internationalized and entitled. All `titles` and `descriptions` on the objects returned by these methods are internationalized to the prefered locale. Also, all methods are entitled, meaning if the caller does not have the required credentials the method may return a subset of the actual list or be unable to perform the specified function.

"Definitions" can be thought of as objects in the Library. Objects in the library are not associated to any one Desktop. In other words definitions can be placed on zero or more desktops and changes made in the Library (to the definitions) are cascaded down to object on the desktops. If you are only interested in effecting a single desktop then use the `PortalCustomizationManager` and make changes to the "Instances".

The `webAppName` name is the deployed name of the module, and is often the name of the WAR file or directory, although this is not always the case. This name is that name given in config.xml as the Name of the WebAppComponent element (and thus WebAppComponentMBean's Name attribute). Note that this name is not the name of the URL context root.

  Parameters:
    `customizationContext` -
    `shellFile` - the relative path to the shell file from the webapp directory example "/framework/makrup/headfooter.shell"
    `webAppName` - as defined in the config.xml
  Throws:
    `RemoteException`

### getShellDefinitionId

    public ShellDefinitionId getShellDefinitionId(CustomizationContext customizationContext,

                                                  String webAppName)
                                           throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning a single `ShellDefinitionId` object given a supplied shell markup name.

  Parameters:
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as prefered locales and desktopInstanceId.
    `markupName` - the markup name attribute supplied on the tag,
    `webAppName` - as defined in the config.xml
  Returns:
    shellDefinitionId the unique shell definition identifier or null if none exist.
  Throws:
    `RemoteException`

### getShellDefinitions

    public ShellDefinition[] getShellDefinitions(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                                 String webapp)
                                          throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning a list of all `ShellDefinitions` scoped to the supplied webapp.

  Parameters:
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as prefered locales and desktopInstanceId returned.
    `webapp` - the web application these shell definitions are scoped to.
  Returns:
    an array of ShellDinfition objects if they exist, otherwise, an empty array.
  Throws:
    `RemoteException`
  See Also:
    `ShellDefinition`

### getShellDefinitions

    public ShellDefinition[] getShellDefinitions(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                                 String webapp,
                                                 ShellDefinitionId firstShellDefinitionId,
                                                 int limit)
                                          throws RemoteException

  Returns `ShellDefinition`s in `definitionId` order (create order). Starting with the supplied definitionId and limiting the result set to size `limit` If fewer `ShellDefinition`s exist than `limit`, then a smaller result set will be returned. If no definitions are found an empty array is returned. To start at the beginning of the list specify `null` as the `shellDefinitionId`. To retrieve from the end of the list and back specify `null` as the `shellDefinitionId` and a negative `limit`. To retrieve all the shellDefinitions in the database supply a limit of 0. Implementation has to ensure that repeated calls to this method return `ShellDefinition`s in a consistent order.

  Parameters:
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as preferred locales.
    `webapp` - the web application these shell definitions are scoped to.
    `firstShellDefinitionId` - optional parameter to indicate where the list should start.
    `limit` - the maximum result set size. Note the limit may be negative indicating a reverse sort order. For all the records specify a limit of zero. Note: some elements may be pruned because of entitlements.
  Returns:
    array of `ShellDefinition`s no greater than `limit` in size.
  Throws:
    `RemoteException`

### getShellView

    public ShellView getShellView(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                  ShellDefinitionId shellDefinitionId)
                           throws RemoteException

  Getter for returning an immutable deep copy of a `ShellView`. The `ShellView` object, unlike the `ShellDefinition` or the `ShellInstance` objects contains a full set of references to all child pages, shells and so on. The `ShellView` object however is immutable.

  Parameters:
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as prefered locales and desktopInstanceId returned.
    `shellDefinitionId` - the unique shellDefinitionId.
  Returns:
    an immutable deep copy ShellView object if one exist, otherwise null.
  Throws:
    `RemoteException`

### updateShellDefinition

    public void updateShellDefinition(CustomizationContext customizationContext,
                                      ShellDefinition shellDefinition)
                               throws ObjectNotFoundException,
                                      NotEntitledException,
                                      RemoteException

  Update the shell definition with the new data.

  Parameters:
    `customizationContext` - customization information such as prefered locales and desktopInstanceId returned.
    `shellDefinition` - the shell definition containing the new data
  Throws:
    `ObjectNotFoundException` - if the LocalizationIntersectionId in the LocalizationResource is bogus.
    `NotEntitledException`
    `RemoteException`
