Interface Updatable

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileTemplateCache, FileBinaryCache

public interface Updatable

An interface for objects that need to be reminded to update themselves from time to time.

Two update styles are supported: blank and named. A blankupdate leaves the decision about what has to be updated to the implementation whereas a named update guarantees that only objects with a given name are updated.

Blank updates are well suited for recurring events where a set of objects has to be refreshed periodically. Named updates correspond to "push" methodology where the decision to update a specific set of objects is made on an ad hoc basis.
