| * An optional interface implemented by objects that are persisted in the {@link org.apache.tapestry5.services.Session}. |
| * At the end of each request, any objects read from the session are re-stored into the session, to ensure that |
| * in-memory changes are flushed to other persistent session stores (e.g. RDBMS, servers in a cluster, etc). Objects |
| * that implement this interface are expected to track when they are dirty (have pending changes), so that the save |
| * back into the session can be avoided when not necessary. |
| * |
| * This method is accessed concurrently. |
