Interface MappingStore

All Known Implementing Classes:

MappingStoreImpl

public interface MappingStore

MappingStore is a component that allows storage/retrieval of Mapping objects. There could be multiple implementation classes for this interface, e.g. File-based, Database, Full-text. A MappingStore object could be obtained from StorageFactory.
