Interface QueueSmartDistributorSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface QueueSmartDistributorSession extends OsidSession

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A QueueQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Distributor to create a virtual collection of queues. The queues may be sequenced using the QueueSearchOrder from this session.

This Distributor has a default query that matches any queue and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a QueueQueryInspector . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a QueueQuery .
