Package com.atlassian.gadgets.dashboard Description

This package contains the main APIs for interacting with dashboards and gadgets. Dashboards are represented by immutable state objects, DashboardStates. Gadgets are also represented by immutable state objects, GadgetStates.

A few useful services are defined by this api and are provided by the dashboard-plugin. They are the DashboardService and the DashboardStateCache.

To integrate the dashboards plugin(s) into a host application, an integrator needs to implement the interfaces defined in the com.atlassian.gadgets.spi package.

A note about serialization: GadgetId, DashboardId, GadgetState and DashboardState all implement the Serializable marker interface. However, Java serialization is not meant to be used as way of doing long term persistence of these objects. They implement the Serializable interface purely for distribution among remote systems that might be sharing a cache or need to transfer these objects for other reasons. Again, it is not meant to be used as a means of persisting these objects between JVM restarts.
