public abstract class PersistenceFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Represent a factory for all the classes that take care of the persistance of the AccountMappers, the UserGroups or any other components.

Implementing a new PersistanceManager class allows to complete redefined how the user, group and accounting information is stored. This will allow to keep the information integrated in the site accounting system, being it any RDBMS, LDAP, or even a combination of these.

It also allow to use different mapping technologies, allowing to use either entity beans, simple JDBC, Hibernate or any other favourite technology.
