# CosPropertyService_PropertySetDef

### MODULE

CosPropertyService_PropertySetDef

### MODULE SUMMARY

This module implements the OMG CosPropertyService::PropertySetDef interface.

### DESCRIPTION

To get access to the record definitions for the structures use:
`-include_lib("cosProperty/include/CosPropertyService.hrl").`

This module also exports the functions described in

CosPropertyService_PropertySet

### EXPORTS

`get_allowed_property_types(PropertySetDef) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`Reply = {ok, PropertyTypes}`
`PropertyTypes = [CORBA::TypeCode]`

This operation return the TypeCodes which we are allowed to use when adding new properties.

`get_allowed_properties(PropertySetDef) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`Reply = {ok, PropertyDefs}`
`PropertyDefs = [#'CosPropertyService_PropertyDef'{property_name = Name, property_value = Value, property_mode = Mode}]`
`Name = string()`
`Value = #any`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`

This operation a sequence of the allowed properties we may alter; depends on which mode associated with a certain property.

`define_property_with_mode(PropertySetDef, Name, Value, Mode) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`Name = non-empty string()`
`Value = #any`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`
`Reply = ok | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_InvalidPropertyName{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_ConflictingProperty{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_UnsupportedTypeCode{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_UnsupportedProperty{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_UnsupportedMode{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_ReadOnlyProperty{}}`

This operation attempts to associate a new property with the target object. If we fail to do so the appropriate exception is raised.

`define_properties_with_modes(PropertySetDef, PropertyDefs) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`PropertyDefs = [#'CosPropertyService_PropertyDef'{property_name = Name, property_value = Value, property_mode = Mode}]`
`Name = string()`
`Value = #any`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`
`Reply = ok | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_MultipleExceptions{exceptions = Excs}}`
`Excs = [#'CosPropertyService_PropertyException{reason = Reason, failing_property_name = Name}]`
`Reason = invalid_property_name | conflicting_property | property_not_found | unsupported_type_code | unsupported_property | unsupported_mode | fixed_property | read_only_property`

This operation attempts to associate the given Property Definitions with the target object. If one or more attempts fail an exception is raised describing which properties we where not able to create.

`get_property_mode(PropertySetDef, Name) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`Name = string()`
`Reply = Mode | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_InvalidPropertyName{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_PropertyNotFound{}}`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`

This operation returns the type of the given property.

`get_property_modes(PropertySetDef, Names) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`Names = [string()]`
`Reply = {boolean(), PropertyModes}`
`PropertyModes = [#'CosPropertyService_PropertyMode'{property_name = Name, property_mode = Mode}]`
`Name = string()`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`

This operation returns the modes of the listed properties. If the boolean flag is false, all properties with mode `undefined` this operation failed to comply.

`set_property_mode(PropertySetDef, Name, Mode) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`Name = string()`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`
`Reply = ok | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_InvalidPropertyName{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_UnsupportedMode{}} | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_PropertyNotFound{}}`

This operation changes the given property's mode. Return the approprioate exception if not able to fulfill the request.

`set_property_modes(PropertySetDef, PropertyModes) -> Reply`

Types:

`PropertySetDef = #objref`
`PropertyModes = [#'CosPropertyService_PropertyMode'{property_name = Name, property_mode = Mode}]`
`Name = string()`
`Mode = normal | read_only | fixed_normal | fixed_readonly | undefined`
`Reply = ok | {'EXCEPTION', #CosPropertyService_MultipleExceptions{exceptions = Excs}}`
`Excs = [#'CosPropertyService_PropertyException{reason = Reason, failing_property_name = Name}]`
`Reason = invalid_property_name | conflicting_property | property_not_found | unsupported_type_code | unsupported_property | unsupported_mode | fixed_property | read_only_property`

This operation attempts to update the listed properties mode's. Rasises an exception which describe which and why an operation failed.
