Interface IPersistable

All Known Subinterfaces:

    public interface IPersistable

Base interface for objects that can be made persistent. Every object that complies to this interface must provide either a constructor that takes an input stream as only parameter or an empty constructor so it can be loaded from the persistence store. However this is not required for objects that are created by the application and initialized afterwards.
