Interface AuthorizationList

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidList, OsidList
public interface AuthorizationList extends OsidList

Like all OsidLists , AuthorizationList provides a means for accessing Authorization elements sequentially either one at a time or many at a time. Examples: 

while (al.hasNext()) {
     Authorization authorization = al.getNextAuthorization();
}
or 
while (al.hasNext()) {
     Authorization[] authorizations = al.getNextAuthorizations(al.available());
}
