Implementsosid.contact.rules.ContactEnablerQuerySession
Description

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

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

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated address book view: searches include contact enablers in address books of which this address book is an ancestor in the address book hierarchy
  • isolated address book view: searches are restricted to contact enablers in this address book

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