Class ResourceMinimalImpl<T>

java.lang.Object

org.intellimate.izou.resource.ResourceMinimalImpl<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Identifiable, ResourceModel<T>

public class ResourceMinimalImpl<T>
extends Object
implements ResourceModel<T>

An Resource is an object which is used to pass data from one part of the application to another.

This is a minimal internal implementation! It should stay so to ensure that this implementations doesn't constrain the implementation.

Note! This Object is immutable!
