Interface GraphRepository<T extends Graph>

All Known Implementing Classes:

HibGraphRepository, MemGraphRepository

public interface GraphRepository<T extends Graph>

The graph repository is an engine specific way of accessing instances of Graph which have been loaded. A database backed engine would provide a repository which queried the database, while a memory backed engine would use some memory cache. Other implementation are possible, such as a file backed repository.
