Interface RegistrationQuerySession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

All Known Subinterfaces:

RegistrationSearchSession

public interface RegistrationQuerySession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among Registration objects. The search query is constructed using the RegistrationQuery.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated course catalog view: searches include registrations in course catalogs of which this course catalog is an ancestor in the course catalog hierarchy
• isolated course catalog view: searches are restricted to registrations in this course catalog

Registrations may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the RegistrationQuery.
