Interface ManualAccountMapperDB

All Known Implementing Classes:

HibernateAccountMapperDB, LDAPAccountMapperDB

public interface ManualAccountMapperDB

The persistant layer for the ManualAccontMapper. Store a set of mappings to be used by the ManualAccountMapper itself. This interface allows the mapping to be stored in different ways (i.e. LDAP, database, file, ...).

The persistance layer shouldn't be doing any kind of caching, which will be handled by the ManualAccontMapper itself.
