Interface Handle

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
HibernateHandle, HibernateHandle, SpaceKeyHandle, TransientHibernateHandle
public interface Handle extends Serializable
A token by which the AnyTypeObjectDao (for example) can resolve any persistent object. Handle is marker-interface with no required methods, but implementors must follow the contract for the toString method.

Handles are used to represent persistent objects in places such as the full-search index, providing a way to go back from some text representation to a full object.
