public interface ICachedStorage
extends IStorage

The ICachedStorage extends the IStorage with meta data caching features. The meta data of storages doesn't change in production mode, so we will use a caching mechanism.

Method Summary

MetaData	getMetaData(String pGroup, String pName) Returns the meta data for this AbstractStorage from the storage as MetaData and places the MetaData to the cache with a group name and meta data name.
Hashtable<String,MetaData>	getMetaDataFromCache(String pGroup) Returns all available meta data from the cache for a specific cache group.
