Interface DiscussionMetadataCoreService

All Superinterfaces:
com.appiancorp.services.ContextSensitiveService, Service
@Deprecated public interface DiscussionMetadataCoreService extends com.appiancorp.services.ContextSensitiveService
Deprecated.
The Discussion Forums functionality will be removed in a future release. Use the News feed and related smart services to build applications with similar functionality.
Defines the core methods for managing discussion forums. Forums contain topics (aka threads) which contain messages. Messages can have child messages, which are the replies to the message. A forum can be related to a LocalObject, such as a Document or Knowledge Center. Forums can be public or private. Anyone can view and post to a public forum, whereas only selected users can view and post to a private forum (as specified in the actors role map).

A user can subscribe to a topic/thread, in which case he/she will receive a notification whenever a new message is posted to the thread. If the user subscribes to a forum, he/she will receive a notification whenever a new message is posted to any of the topics in the forum.

Individual topics can be sponsored, which provides a way of flagging more important topics. Topics can then be retrieved or sorted based on the sponsored flag. Sponsoring is not connected to the user who marks the topic as sponsored (the topic is simply marked as "sponsored").

Individual messages can be rated by users.

Security for discussion forums is managed through the ForumsRoleMap class.

NOTE: This service only deals with discussion forums metadata, it does not write any content to disk. The DiscussionBodyService should be used to save content.

Methods of service classes can all throw the unchecked exception ServiceException if any system-level error (for example, server failure) occurs, and will in general throw a checked exception (InvalidXXXException) when an entity to be retrieved is inaccessible, instead of returning null. Exceptions to this paradigm (including the use of ResultList as described below) are noted. All checked exceptions extend AppianException.

It may be necessary to retrieve a subset of results as opposed to an entire collection, and also to sort the subset by some property of the returned object. "Paging" methods which return a ResultPage are provided in certain instances for this purpose. The ResultPage will contain the sorted subset of results (via Result.getResults()), and the total number of items in the available result set (via ResultPage.getAvailableItems()).

It may also be necessary to retrieve some results, even if all results cannot be retrieved (for instance, some of the entities corresponding to a list of entity IDs may no longer exist). Methods which return a ResultList are provided for this purpose. The Result.getResults() method in this case will return all results which can be retrieved. In addition, there will be a list of result codes (ResultList.getResultCodes()) that represent the successful retrieval of an entity, or, if the entity could not be retrieved, the reason for the failure. See the CODE_XXX constants in ResultList for details.
