Interface OfficeList

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface OfficeList
extends OsidList

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

       
       
       while (ol.hasNext()) {
            Office office = ol.getNextOffice();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (ol.hasNext()) {
            Office[] offices = ol.getNextOffices(ol.available());
       }
