Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A CustomerQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Business to create a virtual collection of Customers. The customers may be sequenced using the CustomerSearchOrder from this session.

This Business has a default query that matches any customer and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a CustomerQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a CustomerQuery.
