Interface CandidateBatchFormList

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface CandidateBatchFormList
extends OsidList

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

       
       
       while (cbfl.hasNext()) {
            CandidateBatchForm form = cbfl.getNextCandidateBatchForm();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (cbfl.hasNext()) {
            CandidateBatchForm[] forms = cbfl.getNextCandidateBatchForms(cbfl.available());
       }
