HoldSearchSession

public interface HoldQuerySession extends OsidSession

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

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated oubliette view: searches include holds in oubliettes of which this oubliette is an ancestor in the oubliette hierarchy
  • isolated oubliette view: searches are restricted to holds in this oubliette

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