Interface ICompoundStore<I extends RecordRW>

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<I>

public interface ICompoundStore<I extends RecordRW>
extends Iterable<I>

A compound store is a collection of two or more IStore stores. This interface gives a similar, but reduced interface to IStore.

For example there is a compound store of types, containing vehicle types and transport types. It is possible to pass a name to that compound store to lookup either a vehicle type or a transport types that matches the name

Method Summary

void	clear() Clear all objects from store
Collection<I>	collection() Get a collection interface
List<I>	list() Get a list interface
I	lookup(int name) lookup the object in the internal store
I	lookup(String name) lookup the object in the internal store
I	remove(I object) Remove the given object from the store, return the object if succesful, or null if unsuccessful
int	size() The number of elements in the store
I[]	toArray(I[] ta) return elements as an array
int	uniqueName() Return an integer name that is unique amongst all stores making up this compound
