Description

Interface Summary

BackedObject	This is a simple interface that objects backed by documents may want to implement.
QueryTokenTypes

Class Summary

AbstractBackedObject	A basic implementation of BackedObject.
AbstractDocument	This is a base class for working up a Document.
AbstractQueryFactory	This is a base class for working up a query factory.
AbstractStorage	This is a base class for working up a storage.
DocumentListImpl	An internal Document container (like ArrayList, only with some strong typing).
FieldMapping	Maintains a mapping from a named class field to the corresponding FieldDescriptor.
QueryLexer
QueryParser
SchemaMap	Implements a map-based container for Schemas; in some sense, the SchemaMap becomes a "super-Schema", since it has several of the same methods.
SchemaSchema	This is the schema for all documents that have persistent schemas on them.
StorageFactory	Generates a Storage according to user-specified parameters.
StorageUtil	Helper routines for Storage.

Package com.xerox.bantam.util Description

The Util subpackage collects a variety of helpful pieces of implementation, primarily of value to those producing Storage implementations. For application programmers, the main classes of interest are StorageFactory for obtaining Storage objects and StorageUtil for dumping properties. Most of the classes here are used by existing implementations and are subject to change.

Note that this package is less complete, less well-documented, and probably less stable than Bantam.
