public interface CommissionSearchSession
extends CommissionQuerySession

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

getCommissionsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Commissions. A more advanced search may be performed with getCommissionsBySearch(). It accepts a CommissionSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getCommissionsBySearch() returns a CommissionSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting CommissionList or be used to perform a search within the result set through CommissionSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated foundry view: searches include commissions in foundries of which this foundry is an ancestor in the foundry hierarchy
• isolated foundry view: searches are restricted to commissions in this foundry

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