OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.PoolProcessorSearchSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.PoolProcessorSearchSession
Implements	`osid.provisioning.rules.PoolProcessorQuerySession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for searching among `PoolProcessors`. The search query is constructed using the `PoolProcessorQuery`. `getPoolProcessorsByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of `PoolProcessors`. A more advanced search may be performed with `getPoolProcessorsBySearch()`.It accepts a `PoolProcessorSearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getPoolProcessorsBySearch()` returns a `PoolProcessorSearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `PoolProcessorList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through Poo `lProcessorSearch`. This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching. federated distributor view: searches include pool processors in distributors of which this distributor is an ancestor in the distributor hierarchy isolated distributor view: searches are restricted to pool processors in this distributor Pool processors may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `PoolProcessorQuery`.
