Interface QueueSmartFrontOfficeSession

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

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A QueueQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this FrontOffice to create a virtual collection of Queues . The queues may be sequenced using the QueueSearchOrder from this session.

This FrontOffice has a default query that matches any queue and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a QueueQueryInspector . The query may be modified by converting the query inspector back to a QueueQuery .
