Interface AssetStore

All Superinterfaces:

Map<edu.uiuc.ncsa.security.core.Identifier,Asset>, edu.uiuc.ncsa.security.core.Store<Asset>

All Known Implementing Classes:

FSAssetStore, MemoryAssetStore, SQLAssetStore

public interface AssetStore
extends edu.uiuc.ncsa.security.core.Store<Asset>

The top-level abstract class for storing Assets. This is a map that is keyed off an Identifier generated by the client. The only requirement on the identifier is it be a URI, otherwise it may be arbitrary.

Usage

A store is specified in the client configuration.

Lifecycle

Once the asset store is specified in the configuration, the system will instantitate it and manage it. It is accessible from the ClientEnvironment.getAssetStore() Note that if there is no asset store specified, then calls for the store return a null, therefore implementors should check if there has been a store with the ClientEnvironment.hasAssetStore() method first.
