Class CacheHandle

java.lang.Object
  sofya.base.CacheHandle

public final class CacheHandle
extends java.lang.Object

Handle to a cache directory in the Sofya database.

A cache handle is issued by Handler.newCache(boolean) and is used by other cache-related methods to uniquely identify the cache on which an operation should be performed. The primary purpose of this design is to reduce the probability that different clients will inadvertently operate on the same cache.
