This Service is used to request the next set of Browse or BrowseNext response information that is too large to be sent in a single response. “Too large” in this context means that the Server is not able to return a larger response or that the number of results to return exceeds the maximum number of results to return that was specified by the Client in the original Browse request. The BrowseNext shall be submitted on the same Session that was used to submit the Browse or BrowseNext that is being continued.

Table 37 defines the parameters for the Service.

Description

Request

requestHeader

Request Header

Common request parameters (see 7.28 for RequestHeader definition).

releaseContinuationPoints

Boolean

A Boolean parameter with the following values:

TRUEpassed continuationPoints shall be reset to free resources in the Server. The continuation points are released and the results and diagnosticInfos arrays are empty.

FALSEpassed continuationPoints shall be used to get the next set of browse information.

A Client shall always use the continuation point returned by a Browse or BrowseNext response to free the resources for the continuation point in the Server. If the Client does not want to get the next set of browse information, BrowseNext shall be called with this parameter set to TRUE.

continuationPoints []

Continuation Point

A list of Server-defined opaque values that represent continuation points. The value for a continuation point was returned to the Client in a previous Browse or BrowseNext response. These values are used to identify the previously processed Browse or BrowseNext request that is being continued and the point in the result set from which the browse response is to continue.

Clients may mix continuation points from different Browse or BrowseNext responses.

The ContinuationPoint type is described in 7.6.

Response

responseHeader

Response Header

Common response parameters (see 7.29 for ResponseHeader definition).

results []

BrowseResult

A list of references that met the criteria specified in the original Browse request.

The size and order of this list matches the size and order of the continuationPoints request parameter.

The BrowseResult type is defined in 7.3.

diagnosticInfos []

Diagnostic Info

List of diagnostic information for the results (see 7.8 for DiagnosticInfo definition). The size and order of the list matches the size and order of the results response parameter. This list is empty if diagnostics information was not requested in the request header or if no diagnostic information was encountered in processing of the request.
