Interface InstallationPackageSmartDepotSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
public interface InstallationPackageSmartDepotSession extends OsidSession

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A InstallationPackageQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Depot to create a virtual collection of InstallationPackages. The packages may be sequenced using the InstallationPackageSearchOrder from this session.

This Depot has a default query that matches any package and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a InstallationPackageQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a InstallationPackageQuery.
