    public interface Database

extends SdxObject, Saveable

A simple database abstraction for managing document-like simple data.

Various SDX objects must manage simple data structures : the framework keeps track of applications, an application keeps track of document bases, user and groups, a document base keeps track of repositories, etc. These management tasks share some common properties : (1) they can involve quite complex and variable data structures ; (2) the management tasks need only a few properties from these complex structures ; (3) the underlying entities are all managed by their ids.

The Database interface models a Database managing simple entities by their ids and some properties, some may be repeatable. The complex structures behind the entities are stored in XML outside of the database.

SDX implements for now only one Database class : a LuceneDatabase, which uses Lucene, SDX's underlying search engine, to manage and retrieve these entities.
