Interface PositionBatchFormList

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidList

public interface PositionBatchFormList
extends OsidList

Like all OsidLists, PositionBatchFormList provides a means for accessing PositionBatchForm elements sequentially either one at a time or many at a time. Examples:

       
       
       while (pbfl.hasNext()) {
            PositionBatchForm form = pbfl.getNextPositionBatchForm();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (pbfl.hasNext()) {
            PositionBatchForm[] forms = pbfl.getNextPositionBatchForms(pbfl.available());
       }
