backend.rb

This file contains the MUES::ObjectStore::Backend class: an abstract base class for ObjectStore storage backends.

Index methods, as named by those passed to the MUES::ObjectStore::Backend::create method, must return a String. They should take no arguments, but need not be implemented in all classes to be stored. If an object does not respond to a method, nil will be used.

Synopsis

  require 'mues/os-extensions/backend'
  class FooBackend < MUES::ObjectStore::Backend
      ...
  end

  ostore = MUES::ObjectStore::create( :backend => 'Foo', ... )
