public interface ProvisionEnablerQuerySession extends OsidSession

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

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated distributor view: searches include provision enablers in distributors of which this distributor is an ancestor in the distributor hierarchy
  • isolated distributor view: searches are restricted to provision enablers in this distributor

Provision enablers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the ProvisionQuery.
