Interface JournalEntryPeerList

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidList, OsidList

public interface JournalEntryPeerList
extends OsidList

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

while (jepl.hasNext()) {
     JournalEntryPeer peer = jepl.getNextJournalEntryPeer();
}            
  

or

while (jepl.hasNext()) {
     JournalEntryPeer[] peers = jepl.getNextJournalEntryPeers(jepl.available());
}
