       +-XMultiLayerStratum
Description Handles access to a stratum consisting of multiple layers in a single configuration data repository The interface provides access to data for multiple entities and timestamp-checking capabilities for efficient caching. See also XBackendEntities See also ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped See also XSchemaSupplier See also XSingleLayerStratum Since version OpenOffice.org 1.1.1

Methods' Summary
listLayerIds | identifies the layers within this stratum which should be read and merged to determine data of a component for an entity
getUpdateLayerId | identifies the layer which should be modified to update data of a component on behalf of an entity.
getLayer | retrieves a layer associated to a layer id, if newer than indicated.
getLayers | retrieves the layers associated to a series of layer ids, if newer than indicated.
getMultipleLayers | retrieves the layers associated to a series of layer ids, if newer than indicated for each layer.
getUpdatableLayer | retrieves a writable representation of the layer associated to a layer id.

Methods' Details
listLayerIds
sequence< string > listLayerIds( | [in] string [in] string raises( | aComponent, aEntity ) BackendAccessException, ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );
Description identifies the layers within this stratum which should be read and merged to determine data of a component for an entity Parameter aComponent The name of the component to access. Parameter aEntity The name of an entity on behalf of which data will be accessed. Returns a list of layer identifiers that can be used to retrieve Layer objects. The list ist ordered by priority. Typically the most general layers (global defaults, entire organization) are first, more specific layers (associated to specific groups or roles) are next and the entity's own data is last. Throws com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if the component identifier is invalid or if the entity doesn't exist. Throws com::sun::star::configuration::backend::BackendAccessException if an error occurs while accessing the data.

getUpdateLayerId
string getUpdateLayerId( | [in] string [in] string raises( | aComponent, aEntity ) BackendAccessException, ::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException, ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );
Description identifies the layer which should be modified to update data of a component on behalf of an entity. The layer id returned is one of the layer ids obtained from XMultiLayerStratum::listLayerIds() for the same component and entity. Parameter aComponent The name of the component to access. Parameter aEntity The name of an entity on behalf of which data will be accessed. Returns a layer identifier that can be used to obtain an UpdatableLayer object. Throws com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if the component identifier is invalid or if the entity doesn't exist. Throws com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the implementation does not support updates. Throws com::sun::star::configuration::backend::BackendAccessException if an error occurs while accessing the data. See also XMultiLayerStratum::getUpdatableLayer() See also XBackendEntities
getLayer
XLayer getLayer( | [in] string [in] string raises( | aLayerId, aTimestamp ) BackendAccessException, ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );
Description retrieves a layer associated to a layer id, if newer than indicated. A timestamp can be provided, which is used to indicate a point in time. The layer should be returned only if is modified since that time. Parameter aLayerId identifier of the layers to be accessed. Layer ids can be obtained from XMultiLayerStratum::listLayerIds() or XMultiLayerStratum::getUpdateLayerId() . Parameter aTimestamp a timestamp for the layer. An empty timestamp indicates, that the layer should be retrieved irrespective of its modification time. The format and meaning of a timestamp depends on the implementation. Timestamps can be obtained using ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped::getTimestamp() . Returns a Layer object providing access to the layer data, NULL if the layer is newer than indicated by the timestamp. Throws com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if the layer id is invalid or if the timestamp is invalid Throws com::sun::star::configuration::backend::BackendAccessException if an error occurs while accessing the data. See also ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped
getLayers
sequence< XLayer > getLayers( | [in] sequence< string > [in] string raises( | aLayerIds, aTimestamp ) BackendAccessException, ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );
Description retrieves the layers associated to a series of layer ids, if newer than indicated. A timestamp can be provided, which is used to indicate a point in time. Only layers that are modified since that time should be returned. The same timestamp is used for all layers. Parameter aLayerIds identifiers of the layers to be accessed. Layer ids can be obtained from XMultiLayerStratum::listLayerIds() . Parameter aTimestamp a timestamp for all of the layers. An empty timestamp indicates, that the layers should be retrieved irrespective of their modification time. The format and meaning of a timestamp depends on the implementation. Timestamps can be obtained using ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped::getTimestamp() . Returns a list of Layer objects providing access to the layer data. The list has the same length as aLayerIds. Each layer object is associated to the layer id in the corresponding position. For layers that are newer than indicated by the timestamp, the list contains a NULL element. Throws com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if one of the layer ids is invalid or if the timestamp is invalid Throws com::sun::star::configuration::backend::BackendAccessException if an error occurs while accessing the data. See also ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped
getMultipleLayers
sequence< XLayer > getMultipleLayers( | [in] sequence< string > [in] sequence< string > raises( | aLayerIds, aTimestamps ) BackendAccessException, ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );
Description retrieves the layers associated to a series of layer ids, if newer than indicated for each layer. For each layer an individual timestamp can be provided, which is used to indicate the last known version of the layer. Only layers that are modified since that time should be returned. Parameter aLayerIds identifiers of the layers to be accessed. Layer ids can be obtained from XMultiLayerStratum::listLayerIds() . Parameter aTimestamps timestamps for each of the layers. This list must have the same length as aLayerIds. Timestamps are matched to layer ids by their position. An empty timestamp indicates, that the associated layer should be retrieved irrespective of its modification time. The format and meaning of a timestamp depends on the implementation. Timestamps can be obtained using ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped::getTimestamp() . Returns a list of Layer objects providing access to the layer data. The list has the same length as aLayerIds. Each layer object is associated to the layer id in the corresponding position. For layers that are newer than indicated by the corresponding timestamp, the list contains a NULL element. Throws com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if one of the layer ids is invalid or if one of the timestamps is invalid or if the lengths of the arguments don't match. Throws com::sun::star::configuration::backend::BackendAccessException if an error occurs while accessing the data. See also ::com::sun::star::util::XTimeStamped
getUpdatableLayer
XUpdatableLayer getUpdatableLayer( | [in] string raises( | aLayerId ) BackendAccessException, ::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException, ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );
Description retrieves a writable representation of the layer associated to a layer id. Parameter aLayerId identifier of the layer to be accessed for writing. A layer id for writing can be obtained from XMultiLayerStratum::getUpdateLayerId() . Returns an UpdatableLayer object providing write access to the layer Throws com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if the layer id is invalid. Throws com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the implementation does not support updates. Throws com::sun::star::configuration::backend::BackendAccessException if an error occurs while accessing the data.
