OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerLookupSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving `BrokerConstrainerEnablers` . This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects. comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition isolated distributor view: All broker cosntrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to broker constrainer enablers defined explicitly in the current distributor Using an isolated view is useful for managing `BrokerConstrainerEnablers` with the `BrokerConstrainerEnablerAdminSession` . federated distributor view: All broker constrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all broker constrainer enablers defined in this distributor and any other broker constrainer enablers implicitly available in this distributor through distributor inheritence. Generally, the comparative view should be used for most applications as it permits operation even if there is data that cannot be accessed. The methods `useFederatedDistributorView()` and `useIsolatedDistributorView() be` have as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking any lookup methods.
