Interface PositionQuerySession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
All Known Subinterfaces:
PositionSearchSession
public interface PositionQuerySession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for querying Position objects. The search query is constructed using the PositionQuery .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated realm view: searches include positions in realms of which this realm is an ancestor in the realm hierarchy
  • isolated realm view: searches are restricted to positions in this realm

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