RegistrationTargetSearchSession
public interface RegistrationTargetQuerySession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among RegistrationTargets . The search query is constructed using the RegistrationTargetQuery .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

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

Registration Targets may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the RegistrationTargetQuery .
