Interface RegistrationSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

public interface RegistrationSearchSession
extends RegistrationQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching among Registration objects. The search query is constructed using the RegistrationQuery .

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

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated course catalog view: searches include registrations in course catalogs of which this course catalog is an ancestor in the course catalog hierarchy
• isolated course catalog view: searches are restricted to registrations in this course catalog

Registrations may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the RegistrationQuery .
