public class RepositorySelectedEntitiesIterator
extends RepositoryIteratorForEntities

RepositorySelectedEntitiesIterator is an iterator class for iteratively retrieving entities based on a search criteria. It is used where the caller needs to filter the results coming from the repository and may need to make more than one call to the repository in order to accumulate the number of requested results. Note this class is intended for a single request's use - it is not thread-safe.
