P4JavaException

getUserGroup

IUserGroup getUserGroup(String name)
                 throws ConnectionException,
                        RequestException,
                        AccessException

Get the named Perforce user group. Note that since the Perforce server usually interprets asking for a non-existent group as equivalent to asking for a template for a new user group, you will normally always get back a result here. It is best to first use the getUserGroups method to see if the group exists, then use this method to retrieve a specific group once you know it exists. TODO: once we have finished the delegators, IOptionServer should be made to extend IServer this definition can then be removed as there is no Options object for getUserGroup

Parameters:

name - non-null group name.

Returns:

IUserGroup representing the named user group if it exists on the server; null otherwise (but see note in main comments above).

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller.

updateUserGroup

String updateUserGroup(IUserGroup group,
                       UpdateUserGroupOptions opts)
                throws P4JavaException

Update a Perforce user group on the Perforce server.

Parameters:

group - non-null user group to be updated.

options - which update options to be applied

Returns:

possibly-null status message string as returned from the server

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller.
