loadContacts

public JwmaContactsImpl loadContacts(java.lang.String cuid)
                              throws JwmaException

Description copied from interface: ContactManagementPlugin

Loads the given contacts database from the persistent store and returns them as a JwmaContactsImpl instance.

If contacts database with the given identity does not exist on the store, the method returns null.

Specified by:

loadContacts in interface ContactManagementPlugin

Parameters:

cuid - a String representing a unique identifier for a contact database.

Returns:

the JwmaContactsImpl instance.

Throws:

JwmaException - if an I/O error occurs.

JwmaContactsImpl, JwmaPreferencesImpl.getContactDatabaseID()

saveContacts

public void saveContacts(JwmaContactsImpl contacts)
                  throws JwmaException

Description copied from interface: ContactManagementPlugin

Saves the given contacts database to the persistent store.

If the contacts database does not exist on the store, the method should create it, otherwise update the existing version.
The unique identity is retrieved using the getUID() method of the given JwmaContactsImpl instance.

Specified by:

saveContacts in interface ContactManagementPlugin

Parameters:

contacts - the JwmaContactsImpl instance to saved.

Throws:

JwmaException - if an I/O error occurs.

See Also:

JwmaContactsImpl, JwmaContacts.getUID()

isPersistent

public boolean isPersistent(java.lang.String cuid)
                     throws JwmaException

Description copied from interface: ContactManagementPlugin

Tests if a given contact database exists on the store.

Specified by:
