Interface PackageBatchFormList

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface PackageBatchFormList
extends OsidList

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

       
       
       while (pbfl.hasNext()) {
            PackageBatchForm form = pbfl.getNextPackageBatchForm();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (pbfl.hasNext()) {
            PackageBatchForm[] forms = pbfl.getNextPackageBatchForms(pbfl.available());
       }
