Direct Known Subclasses:

JCO.Repository

public abstract static class JCO.BasicRepository

extends java.lang.Object

implements IRepository

Implementation of basic repository functionality such as caching and persistence. This class serves as a base class for more elaborate repositories. Derived classes have to call super(name) in their constructors in order to initialize the superclass properly !

JCO.BasicRepository(java.lang.String name)
Constructs a new BasicRepository

                                        IMetaData meta)

Adds a function interface to the local cache. Implementations that do not use a cache just provide an empty method.

Parameters:

key - the key of the cache entry

meta - the meta data of the interface to add to the cache

addStructureDefinitionToCache

public void addStructureDefinitionToCache(IMetaData meta)
