Interface PoolList

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface PoolList
extends OsidList

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

       
       
       while (pl.hasNext()) {
            Pool pool = pl.getNextPool();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (pl.hasNext()) {
            Pool[] pools = pl.getNextPools(pl.available());
       }
