Interface BrokerProcessorEnablerSmartDistributorSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface BrokerProcessorEnablerSmartDistributorSession extends OsidSession

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A BrokerProcessorEnablerQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Distributor to create a virtual collection of BrokerProcessorEnablers . The broker processor enablers may be sequenced using the BrokerProcessorEnablerSearchOrder from this session.

This Distributor has a default query that matches any broker processor enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a BrokerProcessorEnablerQueryInspector . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a BrokerProcessorEnablerQuery .
