Interface VaultList

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidList

public interface VaultList
extends OsidList

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

       
       
       while (vl.hasNext()) {
            Vault vault = vl.getNextVault();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (vl.hasNext()) {
            Vault[] vaults = vl.getNextVaults(vl.available());
       }
