Interface Client<A extends Account>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractClient, ClientImpl, ClientMock

public interface Client<A extends Account>

The authenticate call creates a new Account object, which allows you to interact with the Object Store. Note that security tokens last for a maximum of 24 hours, after which a new one must be fetched.

• Instantiate ClientImpl for the real client to the Object Store.
• Instantiate ClientMock for the client with mocked access, simulated by holding objects in-memory

Call authenticate to get an Account which allows you to start operating on the Object Store.
