Method Detail

getResourcePoolClass

java.lang.Class<T> getResourcePoolClass()

Gets the ResourcePool type associated with this ResourceType.

Returns:

the ResourcePool type associated with this type

isPersistable

boolean isPersistable()

Persistence in this context means that a ResourcePool of this ResourceType can be configured so that data stored in it will survive a JVM restart.

Returns:

true if it supports persistence, false otherwise

requiresSerialization

boolean requiresSerialization()

Indicates whether this ResourceType requires serialization support.

Returns:

true if serializers are required, false otherwise
