Interface LogSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, LogQuerySession, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface LogSearchSession
extends LogQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching Logs . The search query is constructed using the LogQuery . The log record Type also specifies the record for the log query.

getLogsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Log elements. A more advanced search may be performed with getLogsBySearch() . It accepts a LogSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getLogsBySearch() returns a LogSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting LogList or be used to perform a search within the result set through LogSearch .

Logs may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the LogQuery . The returns in this session may not be cast directly to these interfaces.
