Interface CyclicEventSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, CyclicEventQuerySession, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface CyclicEventSearchSession
extends CyclicEventQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching CyclicEvents . The search query is constructed using the CyclicEventQuery . the cyclic event record Type also specifies the record for the cyclic event query.

getCyclicEventsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of CyclicEvents . A more advanced search may be performed with getCyclicEventsBySearch() .It accepts a CyclicEventSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getCyclicEventsBySearch() returns a CyclicEventSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting CyclicEventList or be used to perform a search within the result set through CyclicEventSearch .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated calendar view: searches include cyclic events in calendars of which this calendar is an ancestor in the calendar hierarchy
• isolated calendar view: searches are restricted to cyclic events in this calendar

Cyclic events may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the CyclicEventQuery .
