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> | |
