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

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerProcessorEnablerLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving `BrokerProcessorEnablers` . 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 processor enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to broker processor enablers defined explicitly in the current distributor Using an isolated view is useful for managing `BrokerProcessorEnablers` with the `BrokerProcessorEnablerAdminSession` . federated distributor view: All broker processor enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all broker processor enablers defined in this distributor and any other broker processor 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.
Method	getDistributorId
Description	Gets the `Distributor` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Distributor Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getDistributor
Description	Gets the `Distributor` associated with this session.

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativeBrokerProcessorEnablerView
Description	The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	usePlenaryBrokerProcessorEnablerView
