Interface QueueSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface QueueSearchSession
extends QueueQuerySession

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

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

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated front office view: searches include queues in front offices of which this front office is an ancestor in the front office hierarchy
• isolated front office view: searches are restricted to queues in this frontOffice

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