Interface QueueSmartFrontOfficeSession

All Superinterfaces:

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