Interface ProfileNodeList

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidList, OsidList
public interface ProfileNodeList extends OsidList

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

while (pnl.hasNext()) {
     ProfileNode node = pnl.getNextProfileNode();
}
or 
while (pnl.hasNext()) {
     ProfileNode[] nodes = pnl.getNextProfileNodes(pnl.available());
}

    • getNextProfileNode

      ProfileNode getNextProfileNode() throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the next ProfileNode in this list.
      Returns:
      the next ProfileNode in this list. The hasNext() method should be used to test that a next ProfileNode is available before calling this method.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - no more elements available in this list
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • getNextProfileNodes

      ProfileNode[] getNextProfileNodes(long n) throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the next set of ProfileNode elements in this list which must be less than or equal to the return from available() .
      Parameters:
      n - the number of ProfileNode elements requested which must be less than or equal to available()
      Returns:
      an array of ProfileNode elements. The length of the array is less than or equal to the number specified.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - no more elements available in this list
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      Compliance:
