wt.vc.views
Class ViewReference

java.lang.Object
  wt.fc.ObjectReference
      wt.fc.CachedObjectReference
          wt.vc.views.ViewReference

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable, NetFactor, ObjectMappable, WTReference, Evolvable

public final class ViewReference
extends wt.fc.CachedObjectReference
implements Externalizable

The ViewReference is an ObjectReference particular to Views. When getting the view object from the reference, it uses the ViewService rather than hitting the database directly.

Use the newViewReference static factory method(s), not the ViewReference constructor, to construct instances of this class. Instances must be constructed using the static factory(s), in order to ensure proper initialization of the instance.

Supported API: true

Extendable: false
