Loads the logical channels and the acquisition metadata related to them.

Parameters:

Loads all the annotations of given types, that have been attached to the specified rootNodes for the specified annotatorIds. If no types specified, all annotations will be loaded. This method looks for the annotations that have been attached to each of the specified objects. It then maps each rootNodeId onto the set of annotations that were found for that node. If no annotations were found for that node, then the entry will be null. Otherwise it will be a Set containing Annotation objects.

Parameters:

nodeType - The type of the nodes the annotations are linked to. Mustn't be null.

rootNodeIds - Ids of the objects of type rootNodeType. Mustn't be null.

annotationType - The types of annotation to retrieve. If null all annotations will be loaded. String of the type ome.model.annotations.*.

annotatorIds - Ids of the users for whom annotations should be retrieved. If null, all annotations returned.

options -

Returns:

A map whose key is rootNodeId and value the Set of all annotations for that node or null.
