Interface ReferenceList

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.Collection<Reference>, java.lang.Iterable<Reference>, java.util.List<Reference>

@ProviderType
public interface ReferenceList
extends java.util.List<Reference>

A ReferenceList provides a collection of References specific to a Resource. The type of references provided is dependent on the available ReferenceProviders registered in the system. A ReferenceList can be retrieved by adapting a resource: resource.adaptTo(ReferenceList.class). Any resource can be adapted. Whether references are provided for a resource is decided by the references providers.
