Interface PatchableRoot

All Known Subinterfaces:

Replicated

All Known Implementing Classes:

RemoteObject, RemoteStub, ReplicaStub, ReplicatedObject

public interface PatchableRoot

Marker interface for classes that are not traversed during the patch creation process. If there are several interwoven object graphs that are all monitored for changes with uka.patch, all root elements of the graphs can be marked with this interface to separate patches for the different graphs. During the patch creation process, references to objects implementing PatchableRoot are not traversed, if the referenced object is not itself the root of the monitored graph.

getOwner() Return the root object this object belongs to.

Method Detail

getOwner

public java.lang.Object getOwner()

Return the root object this object belongs to. The replicated state of a replicated object extends to all objects that are reacheable through non-transient references from the replicated root object. The traversal ends at objects implementing PatchableRoot, if the getOwner() method returns another object than the current replicated object.
