Interface RetireHandler<R extends Retireable>

All Superinterfaces:

RequiredDataHandler<R>

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseRetireHandler

public interface RetireHandler<R extends Retireable>
extends RequiredDataHandler<R>

This is the super interface for all retire* actions that take place on all services. The RequiredDataAdvice class uses AOP around each method in every service to check to see if its a retire* method. If it is a retire* method, this class is called to handle setting the Retireable.isRetired(), Retireable.setRetireReason(String), Retireable.setRetiredBy(User), and Retireable.setDateRetired(Date).

Child collections on this Retireable that are themselves a Retireable are looped over and also retired by the RequiredDataAdvice class.

1.5
