Interface JournalEntrySearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface JournalEntrySearchSession
extends JournalEntryQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching JournalEntry objects. The search query is constructed using the JournalEntryQuery. The journal record Type also specifies the record for the journal query.

getJournalEntriesByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Journal elements. A more advanced search may be performed with getJournalEntriesBySearch(). It accepts a JournalEntrySearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getJournalEntriesBySearch() returns a JournalEntrySearchResults that can be used to access the resulting JournalEntryList or be used to perform a search within the result set through JournalEntrySearch.

Journal entries may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the JournalEntryQuery. The returns in this session may not be cast directly to these interfaces.
