Interface IntrospectiveGroupManager

All Superinterfaces:

GroupManager, JiveManager

public interface IntrospectiveGroupManager
extends GroupManager

Interface that marks which GroupManager features a particular GroupManager implementation supports. This functionality is necessary because different group back-ends provide different capabilities. For example, most custom managers are read-only, so creating and deleting groups are not supported in those managers.

Method Summary

boolean	isGetUserGroupsSupported() Indicates whether the GroupManager supports getting a listing of all groups for a given user via the getUserGroups() method.
boolean	isGroupListSupported() Indicates whether the GroupManager supports getting a listing of all groups via the getGroups() method.
