Interface FloorSearchSession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, FloorQuerySession, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface FloorSearchSession
extends FloorQuerySession

This session provides methods for searching Floors . The search query is constructed using the FloorQuery . The floor record Type also specifies the record for the floor query.

getFloorsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Floor elements. A more advanced search may be performed with getFloorsBySearch() . It accepts a FloorSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getFlooreBySearch() returns a FloorSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting FloorList or be used to perform a search within the result set through FloorSearch .

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