Interface ResourceRelationshipList

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidList, OsidList

public interface ResourceRelationshipList
extends OsidList

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

while (rrl.hasNext()) {
     ResourceRelationship relationship = rrl.getNextResourceRelationship();
}            
  

or

while (rrl.hasNext()) {
     ResourceRelationship[] relationships = rrl.getNextResourceRelationships(rrl.available());
}
