Interface CampusSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, CampusQuerySession, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface CampusSearchSession
extends CampusQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching Campuses . The search query is constructed using the CampusQuery . The campus record Type also specifies the record for the campus query.

getCampusesByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Campus elements. A more advanced search may be performed with getCampusesBySearch() . It accepts a CampusSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getCampusesBySearch() returns a CampusSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting CampusList or be used to perform a search within the result set through CampusSearch .

Campuses may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the CampusQuery . The returns in this session may not be cast directly to these interfaces.
