From Spinn3r Reference Client

permalink.getDelta

PermalinkClient client = new PermalinkClient();
PermalinkConfig config = new PermalinkConfig();
config.setVendor( "XXXXX" );
client.setConfig( config );

while( client.fetch() ) {
    List<BaseItem> results = client.getResults();
}

client.fetch() doesn't return a boolean, so something is wrong with the example java code.

Comment by jeremybubs, Jul 28, 2009

Perhaps it should be

while(client.hasMoreResults()) {
  client.fetch();
  List<BaseItem> results = client.getResults();
  //Process this subset of the results.
}
