Interface Identifiable

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface Identifiable
extends Serializable

Instances which ought to be persisted using certain Storages somehow need to be identified. Therefore the minimal requirement is to have a way to distinguish entities. Some implementations of Storage might not need to rely on having persisted instances implement this interface (e.g. JPA-based implementations). It'd also be possible to enforce implementation of #hashCode() , but that's troublesome and provide a getId() isn't too much to ask. Implements Serializable because there's no case where you'd want to have an Identifiable which you don't want to serialize.
