Interface RaceSmartPollsSession

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

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A RaceQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Polls to create a virtual collection of Races . The entries may be sequenced using the RaceSearchOrder from this session.

This Polls has a default query that matches any race and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a RaceQueryInspector . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a RaceQuery .
