Interface OddjobPersister

All Known Implementing Classes:

FilePersister, MapPersister, PersisterBase

public interface OddjobPersister

Provide a ComponentPersister for the underlying framework to use. Most implementations will be hierarchical, taking advantage of the id to create a path by which to persist components.

Oddjob achieves the hierarchical effect by inspecting any ComponentPersister passed down from a parent Oddjob. If it is of this type the persisterFor(String) method will be called to get the new ComponentPersister. For this reason an OddjobPersister that wants to be hierarchical must provide a ComponentPersister that is also an OddjobPersister.
