Interface IRoom

public interface IRoom

Public Interface describing a single collaboration room object

The Room API contains functionality concerning one single room object whereas the Rooms API provides methods concerning all rooms (searching, creation, instantiation...).

This interface is part of the Room API. It is public to all customers. It provides methods for reading room properties and basic methods for room manipulation.

This interface is used only for existing collaboration rooms. For room creation please see the description of the Interface IRoomInfo in the Rooms API.

Field Detail

DTN_ITEM_POS_TOP

public static final int DTN_ITEM_POS_TOP

This value can be used as a parameter of method setPosition(String, int) to move a room part to the top of the DTN

public static final int DTN_ITEM_POS_BOTTOM

This value can be used as a parameter of method setPosition(String, int) to move a room part to the bottom of the DTN

Method Detail

getId

public java.lang.String getId()

Get the id of a room

Returns:

String containing the technical id of this room object

getRoomInfo

public IRoomInfo getRoomInfo()

Get some information describing a room encapsulated in an independent object. This IRoomInfo object can be used to query the properties of a room. The IRoomInfo object contains all information about the room itselbt, but not the portal related stuff (workset, pages, ...) and also not the content (folders, documents, ...).

Also you can use this info object to copy rooms: Since room creation is based on the same Interface IRoomInfo just get this info object for any existing room, change the properties you want to change and then create a new collaboration room based on this info object using the method IRooms. createRoom(IRoomInfo, boolean).

Returns:

parts of the room information

See Also:

IRoomInfo

getRoomGroups

public com.sap.ip.collaboration.room.api.IRoomGroups getRoomGroups()

getVersion

public int getVersion()

Get the technical version number of a room object. Room instances which have been created with different versions of the Room API have different version numbers. This is necessary because not all room versions support all features. Calling a method which is not supported on the actual version of a room object results in a RoomVersionException.

A list of all possible versions is available at class RoomVersion

Returns:

the version number of the room

isHidden

public boolean isHidden()

Check if the room is hidden

Returns:

true if the room is hidden, false otherwise

public boolean isLocked()

Check if the room is locked

Returns:

true if the room is locked, false otherwise

See Also:

IRoomSystem#lock(), IRoomSystem#unlock()

getRoomAccessURLInternal

public java.lang.String getRoomAccessURLInternal()

Get the internal representation of an access URL of a room. This URL can be used to jump directly into the room when displayed in the portal environment.

Attention: The returned URL is only useful in the portal environment. This means, it cannot be used as a link in an eMail for example.

Returns:

String containing the access URL of the room

getRoomAccessURLExternal

public java.lang.String getRoomAccessURLExternal()

Get an external Access URL for a specific room. The Access URL can be used to display links in a portal environment as well as in external environments such as emails. Clicking on such a link results in entering the room.

Note: External Room links generated by this method only work correctly if the server is configured properly. The correct HTTP Protocol, Servername and Port of the machine need to be configured under Collaboration Administration -> Configure Room Backend.
