public abstract class NonCachableNugget
extends Nugget

The super class of NonCachableNugget.

The Nugget class is the base class for all Nugget objects. Nuggets provide entities access to authenticated or non-authenticated back-end services. It is important to remember that Nuggets can only be instantiated through the createNugget() method on Entity. This ensures the all nugget instances are associated to an entity in the system.

Nuggets are used to access different types of services and as such different Nugget classes may have very different programming interfaces. This class provides the base NonCachableNugget interface.

A NonCachableNugget will be instantiated everytime that getEntity() is invoked. A NonCachableNugget is usually used by Nugget implementations that are not thread safe. For example, a Nugget that needs to manages transaction that involves multiple method calls.
