Method Detail

### inviteToCommunity

    void inviteToCommunity(InviteeIterator invitees,
                           InvitationDetails invitationDetails,
                           CommunityInviter[] communityInviters,
                           boolean synchronous,
                           ResourceContext context)
                           throws ToolsException

  Invites a set of `Invitees` to a community, via a specified set of communications methods.

  Parameters
    `invitees` - an `InviteeIterator` that can enumerate all users to invite
    `invitationDetails` - detailed information about the invitation to perform
    `communityInviters` - an array of `CommunityInviters` which specifies the various communications channel `Inviters` the framework should use to send the invitations. The array may be empty, meaning that invitations will be created but no mechanism will be used to inform the invitee(s) that they have been invited.
    `synchronous` - if `true`, the method blocks until all invitations are sent, if `false`, the method is asynchronous and returns before starting to send invitations. If sending many invitations, the asynchronous version should be used to avoid transaction timeouts and to prevent blocking the thread. In some circumstances, a synchronous call is desired to ensure the invitation exists once the method returns.
    `context` - the resource context.
  Throws
    `ToolsException`

### getInvitation

    Invitation getInvitation(String validationText,
                             ResourceContext context)
                             throws ToolsException

  Retrieves an `Invitation` by validation text. This is useful for cases where the `Invitee` was an external user and does not yet have a WLS username, and where the application supplied a unique validation text for each `Invitee`

  Parameters
    `validationText` -
    `context` - the resource context
  Returns
    invitation details for the invitation with the specified validation text, if it exists, otherwise null.
  Throws
    `ToolsException`

### getInvitation

    Invitation getInvitation(CommunityDefinitionId communityId,
                             String wlsUserName,
                             ResourceContext context)
                             throws ToolsException

  Retrieves an `Invitation` by communityId and wlsUserName. This is useful for cases where the `Invitee` has an existing WLS username and the Community is known. If there is more than one `Invitation` for the specified user and community, the most recent `Invitation` will be returned.

  Parameters
    `communityId` -
    `wlsUserName` -
    `context` - the resource context
  Returns
    an Invitation object for the specified community and user if one exists, null otherwise.
  Throws
    `ToolsException`

### getInvitation

    Invitation getInvitation(InviteeId inviteeId,
                             ResourceContext context)
                             throws ToolsException

  Retrieves an `Invitation` by `InviteeId`. This is useful for cases where a Communities application has access to the `InviteeId`, typically obtained from a custom `CommunityInviter` implementation after an invitation operation has completed.

  Parameters
    `inviteeId` -
    `context` - the resource context
  Returns
    invitation details for the invitation with the specified validation text, if it exists, otherwise null.
  Throws
    `ToolsException`

### getInvitations

    SortableFilterablePagedResult<Invitation> getInvitations(int pageSize,
                                                             InvitationSearchCriteria criteria,
                                                             ResourceContext context)
                                                             throws ToolsException

  Paginated search method for getting `Invitations` matching the supplied `InvitationSearchCriteria`

  Parameters
    `pageSize` - Number of results to return per page
    `criteria` - the criteria for the search.
    `context` - the resource context.
  Returns
    a `SortableFilterablePagedResult` of `Invitations` matching the `InvitationSearchCriteria`
  Throws
    `ToolsException`

### consumeInvitation

    InvitationStatus consumeInvitation(InviteeId inviteeId,
                                       InvitationStatus toStatus,
                                       ResourceContext context)
                                       throws ToolsException

  Consumes an `Invitation` that is in active status and moves it to one of the inactive statuses. If the invitation was created with a self_destruct flag marked true, this will additionally delete the `Invitation` record.

  Parameters
    `inviteeId` -
    `toStatus` -
    `context` - the resource context
  Returns
    the `InvitationStatus` that the system set the `Invitation` to. In the case of either expiration or prior revocation, this will be the status returned instead of the input status, so the caller should check to verify the actual result of the operation.
  Throws
    `ToolsException`

### removeInvitation

    void removeInvitation(InviteeId inviteeId,
                          ResourceContext context)
