Package com.mayam.wf.config.shared

Class Ref<T extends HasIdentity>

java.lang.Object

com.mayam.wf.config.shared.Ref<T>

Type Parameters:

T - class of the referenced object.

All Implemented Interfaces:

HasIdentity, Serializable

public class Ref<T extends HasIdentity>
extends Object
implements HasIdentity, Serializable

A reference object meant to facilitate serialization of objects without producing copies. The referenced objects implement HasIdentity and have a string identifier. A Listinvalid input: '<'Ref> can thus be serialized as a List, given that the deserialization post processing calls setResolvedObject(HasIdentity) to reestablish the connection to the referenced object.
