dam - dimensionable asset manager object

Returns:

locale dimension or null

getDimensionIdForName

public static long getDimensionIdForName(COM.FutureTense.Interfaces.ICS ics,
                                         String name)

Get the id of the dimension asset for the name specified

Parameters:

ics - context

name - dimension name, or locale

Returns:

dimension id, -1 if not found.

getDimensionAssetIdForName

public static com.fatwire.assetapi.data.AssetId getDimensionAssetIdForName(COM.FutureTense.Interfaces.ICS ics,
                                                                           String name)

Get the AssetId of the dimension asset for the name specified

Parameters:

ics - context

name - dimension name, or locale

Returns:

dimension id

getDimensionForName

public static com.fatwire.mda.Dimension getDimensionForName(COM.FutureTense.Interfaces.ICS ics,
                                                            String name)

Get the AssetId of the dimension asset for the name specified

Parameters:

ics - context

name - dimension name, or locale

Returns:

dimension id

getNameForDimensionId

public static String getNameForDimensionId(COM.FutureTense.Interfaces.ICS ics,
                                           long dimensionid)

Shorthand function to get the name given a dimension ID specified.

Parameters:

ics - context

dimensionid - ID of a locale. Note the dimension group is not verified

Returns:

dimension name, or locale name, like en_CA.

getDimensionFilter

public static com.fatwire.mda.DimensionFilterInstance getDimensionFilter(com.fatwire.mda.DimensionManager dimensionManager,
                                                                         Collection<com.fatwire.assetapi.data.AssetId> preferredDimensionIds,
                                                                         com.fatwire.mda.DimensionSetInstance dimSet)

Method to get a fully-populated dimension filter, given the specified input params. This can be used for filtering.

Parameters:

dimensionManager - manager class for Dimension lookups

preferredDimensionIds - preferred dimensions to be investigated for a result. Priority preference depends on the configured filter

dimSet - DimensionSet to use for filtering.

Returns:

list of assets based on the filtering rules in the dimension filter from the specified dimension set.

Throws:

com.fatwire.mda.DimensionException - in case something goes terribly wrong.

filterAssets

public static Collection<com.fatwire.assetapi.data.AssetId> filterAssets(com.fatwire.mda.DimensionManager dimensionManager,
                                                                         List<com.fatwire.assetapi.data.AssetId> toFilterList,
                                                                         Collection<com.fatwire.assetapi.data.AssetId> preferredDimensionIds,
                                                                         com.fatwire.mda.DimensionSetInstance dimSet)
                                                                  throws com.fatwire.mda.DimensionException

Main dimension filtering method. Accesses the filter in the dimension set, configures it with the preferred dimension IDs, then filters the input assets.

Parameters:

dimensionManager - manager class for Dimension lookups

toFilterList - list of input assets that need to be filtered. Often it's just one, but a list is perfectly valid.

preferredDimensionIds - preferred dimensions to be investigated for a result. Priority preference depends on the configured filter

dimSet - DimensionSet to use for filtering.

Returns:

list of assets based on the filtering rules in the dimension filter from the specified dimension set.

Throws:

com.fatwire.mda.DimensionException - in case something goes terribly wrong.
