Interface FoundryList

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface FoundryList
extends OsidList

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

       
       
       while (fl.hasNext()) {
            Foundry foundry = fl.getNextFoundry();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (fl.hasNext()) {
            Foundry[] foundries = fl.getNextFoundries(fl.available());
       }

Method Detail

getNextFoundry

Foundry getNextFoundry()
                       throws OperationFailedException

Gets the next Foundry in this list.

Returns:

the next Foundry in this list. The hasNext() method should be used to test that a next Foundry is available before calling this method.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - no more elements available in this list

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getNextFoundries

Foundry[] getNextFoundries(long n)
                           throws OperationFailedException

Gets the next set of Foundry elements in this list. The specified amount must be less than or equal to the return from available().

Parameters:

n - the number of Foundry elements requested which must be less than or equal to available()

Returns:

an array of Foundry elements. The length of the array is less than or equal to the number specified.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - no more elements available in this list

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:
