| 3 <P> Entry instances have certain properties which we do not wish to be | |
| 4 handling in the storage engine (blitz.disk) such as loading of remote classes | |
| 5 etc. At the same time, we wish to provide the storage engine with a means | |
| 6 to compare such Entry instances for purposes of matching. </P> | |
| 7 | |
| 8 <P> This package converts an Entry to and from an object structure which hides | |
| 9 the undesirable properties of an Entry (such as the need to load it's bytecode) | |
| 10 from the rest of the blitz code. </P> | |
| 11 | |
| 12 <P> The object structure is, in fact, MangledEntry instances of which are | |
| 13 created by EntryManglers and contain a field by field representation of the | |
| 14 original Entry made up of MangledFields </P> | |
| 15 | |
| 16 <P> MangledEntry's can be compared with the match method providing the basic | |
| 17 primitive required to perform matching of templates against Entry's </P> | |
