Interface Forum

All Superinterfaces:

NetFactor, ObjectMappable, Persistable, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DiscussionForum

public interface Forum

extends Persistable

The Forum interface acts as the adaptor for Discussion Forums. Every Forum has an association with atleast one business object (that implements the SubjectOfForum interface). In case of Iterated objects, it points only to the latest iteration. Each forum also has associations to a ForumCookie for every user that accessed it.

A Forum can be used by more than one business objects, however, only the first one to have used it becomes the primary subject of the Forum.
