Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Gets human readable name of this i-card provider.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Gets human readable description of this i-card provider.

getSupportedTypes

public Class[] getSupportedTypes()

Gets an array of ICard interfaces supported by this i-card provider (e.g. ICard, IInformationCard, IManagedInformationCard, IPersonalInformationCard, IURICard, etc.).

getICards

public Iterator getICards(CallbackHandler authHandler)
                   throws CardException

Gets all available user's ICards whose identity could be requested using provided callback handler.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

Returns:

the Iterator through all user's ICards.

Throws:

CardException

getICardsByPolicy

public Iterator getICardsByPolicy(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                                  IPolicy policy)
                           throws CardException

Checks all available user's ICards whose identity could be requested using provided callback handler against provided policy and returns all satisfied.

Typically, when polocy parameter is not null, i-card provider uses IPolicy.isSatisfiedBy(ICard) to find matched ICards.

When policy parameter is null i-card provider returns all available ICards.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

policy - - the policy to be used to select satisfied ICards only.

Returns:

the Iterator through all satisfied ICards.

Throws:

CardException

getICardsByFormat

public Iterator getICardsByFormat(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                                  IElementFormat format)
                           throws CardException

Gets all user's ICards whose identity could be requested using provided callback handler that could be exported to IElement with the format described by format parameter.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

format - - the descriptor of the element for which export capabilities need to be checked.

Returns:

the Iterator through all satisfied ICards.

Throws:

CardException

getICardByCUID

public ICard getICardByCUID(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                            CUID cuid)
                     throws CardException

Gets user's ICard whose identity could be requested using spesified callback handler which have the spesified unique identifier.

Card object returned by this method call may or may not have its claims retieved from endpoint service. When a card doesn't have its claims retieved (ICard.isClaimsRetrieved() returns false) it is necessary to make additional call to getICardByCUID(CallbackHandler, CUID, ICredential) in order to obtain fully loaded card object.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

cuid - - the unique identifier of i-card which is requested.

Returns:

the ICard instance.

Throws:

CardException - if ICard with CUID couldn't be retrieved.

getICardByCUID

public ICard getICardByCUID(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                            CUID cuid,
                            ICredential userCredential)
                     throws AuthenticationException,
                            CardException

Gets fully loaded user's ICard whose identity could be requested using spesified callback handler which have the spesified unique identifier.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

cuid - - the unique identifier of i-card which is requested.

userCredential - - the credential object used to authenticate the user on endpoint service.

Returns:

the ICard instance.

Throws:

AuthenticationException - when an attempt to authenticate the user on endpoint service has failed

CardException - if ICard with CUID couldn't be retrieved.

canCreateCard

public boolean canCreateCard(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                             String id,
                             Properties props)

canImportICard

public boolean canImportICard(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                              IElement card)

Tests whether this provider can import i-card represented by card parameter.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

card - - the element which holds i-card data

Returns:

true if card parameter holds valid i-card data and this provider could import them as i-card.

importICard

public ICard importICard(CallbackHandler authHandler,
                         IElement card)
                  throws CardException

Imports i-card data into backed store used by this provider and returns i-card object representing imported i-card.

Card object returned by this method call may or may not have its claims retieved from endpoint service. When a card doesn't have its claims retieved (ICard.isClaimsRetrieved() returns false) it is necessary to make additional call to getICardByCUID(CallbackHandler, CUID, ICredential) in order to obtain fully loaded card object.

Parameters:

authHandler - - the callback handler to be used to request user's identity.

card - - the element which holds i-card data

Returns:

the i-card object which represents imported i-card

Throws:

CardException

exportICards
