Interface INode

All Superinterfaces:
INodeState, IPathElement
All Known Implementing Classes:
Node, TransientNode

public interface INode extends INodeState, IPathElement
Interface that all Nodes implement. Currently, there are two implementations: Transient nodes which only exist in memory, and persistent Nodes, which are stored in a database (either the internal Object DB or an external relational DB).
