Class IdStore<T>

java.lang.Object

org.jenkinsci.plugins.uniqueid.IdStore<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

All Implemented Interfaces:

hudson.ExtensionPoint

Direct Known Subclasses:

PersistenceRootIdStore, RunIdStore

public abstract class IdStore<T>
extends Object
implements hudson.ExtensionPoint

An abstraction to persistently store and retrieve unique id's for various Jenkins model objects. These keys are guaranteed to be unique with a Jenkins and immutable across the lifetime of the given object. Implementations should not store the ID inside any specific item configuration as it is common for users top copy items either through the UI or manually and this will cause the IDs to become non-unique.
