OSID - osid.workflow.rules.ProcessProcessorQuerySession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.workflow.rules.ProcessProcessorQuerySession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Implemented By	`osid.workflow.rules.ProcessProcessorSearchSession`
Used By	`osid.workflow.rules.WorkflowRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.workflow.rules.WorkflowRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for searching among `ProcessProcessor` objects. The search query is constructed using the `ProcessProcessorQuery` . This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching. federated office view: searches include process processors in offices of which this office is an ancestor in the office hierarchy isolated office view: searches are restricted to process processors in this office Process processors may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `ProcessProcessorQuery` .
Method	getOfficeId
Description	Gets the `Office` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Office Id` associated with this session

Method	getOffice
Description	Gets the `Office` associated with this session.

Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useIsolatedOfficeView
Description	Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts searches to this office only.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	getProcessProcessorQuery
Description	Gets a process processor query.
Return	`osid.workflow.rules.ProcessProcessorQuery`		the process processor query
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getProcessProcessorsByQuery
Description	Gets a list of `ProcessProcessors` matching the given search.
Parameters	`osid.workflow.rules.ProcessProcessorQuery`	`processProcessorQuery`	the process processor query
Return	`osid.workflow.rules.ProcessProcessorList`		a list of process processors
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`processProcessorQuery` is `null`
