Interface DirectionSmartCookbookSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
public interface DirectionSmartCookbookSession extends OsidSession

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A DirectionQuery can be retrieved from this session and assigned to this Cookbook to create a virtual collection of Directions . The directions may be sequenced using the DirectionSearchOrder from this session.

This Cookbook has a default query that matches any direction and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a DirectionQueryInspector . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a DirectionQuery .
