Interface IRoomInfo

public interface IRoomInfo

Interface describing a snapshot of a collaboration room

There are two Interfaces describing a collaboration room: IRoom and this one (IRoomInfo). The difference between both is that IRoom represents the persisted room instance itself whereas IRoomInfo is a snapshot of all properties of a room instance in memory. That means: If you call set...() Methods on an instance of IRoom the new value is applied directly to the room. If you call the same set...() Method on an instance of IRoomInfo the new value is set only in memory and doesn't affect any room at all in the first place.

You can obtain an instance of IRoomInfo in two ways:

• You can take a snapshot of any existing collaboration room using the Room API method getRoomInfo(). This snapshot can be used to simply query or display values or also to modify some of the properties using the set...() methods and then create a new room based on this instance of IRoomInfo. This mechanism allows you to "copy" collaboration rooms.
• You can create a new and empty instance of IRoomInfo using the Rooms API method getRoomCreationInfo(). Such an empty instance can be used to create a new room after calling all necessary set...() Methods.

To create a new room based on an instance of IRoomInfo you have to call the Rooms API method createRoom(IRoomInfo, boolean).

Method Detail

validate

public boolean validate()

Validate all entered data.

When creating a new collaboration room based on an instance of IRoomInfo there are some consistency checks required. This method checks for missing or inconsistent data in the fields of the instance. This check is done by the system automatically when the createRoom(IRoomInfo, boolean) method is called. And if the check fails the room is not created.

To avoid this situation the validate() method may be called manually prior to the room creation.

Returns:

true if all constraints are fulfilled - false otherwise. In case the return value is false you may call getValidationErrors() to get a List of the actual Errors that have ocurred during the check.
