public abstract class Updatable
extends Object
implements Externalizable
A class which is updatable makes transparent the fact that it is built atop a listenable cache (in contrast to
a Serializable class). In return, it permits the developer a fine-grained control
of the methods it declares using the tag Update. When a method is tagged with this keyword,
the factory considers that it modifies the state of the object; otherwise the method is perceived as read-only
allowing several performance optimizations.
