Interface ActionEnablerSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

ActionEnablerQuerySession, java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface ActionEnablerSearchSession
extends ActionEnablerQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching among ActionEnabler objects. The search query is constructed using the ActionEnableryQuery.

getActionEnablersByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of ActionEnablers. An more advanced search may be performed with getActionEnablersBySearch(). It accepts an ActionEnablerSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as control. getActionEnablersBySearch() returns an ActionEnablerSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting ActionEnablerList or be used to perform a search within the result set through ActionEnablerSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated system view: searches include action enablers in systems of which this system is an ancestor in the system hierarchy
• isolated system view: searches are restricted to action enablers in this system

ActionEnablers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the ActionEnablerQuery.
