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

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.PoolProcessorEnablerSmartDistributorSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `PoolProcessorEnablerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Distributor` to create a virtual collection of `PoolProcessorEnablers` . The pool processor enablers may be sequenced using the `PoolProcessorEnablerSearchOrder` from this session. This `Distributor` has a default query that matches any pool processor enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `PoolProcessorEnablerQueryInspector` . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `PoolProcessorEnablerQuery` .
Method	getDistributorId
Description	Gets the `Distributor` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Distributor Id` associated with this session

Return	`boolean`		`false` if smart distributor management is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
