SYNOPSIS

class Shore;

DESCRIPTION

The Shore Object Cache Manager is a part of the Shore Language-Independent Library. Every Shore application process has its own cache manager, which communicates with the Shore Value-Added Server (SVAS) on behalf of Shore applications to begin, commit, and abort transactions, to cache persistent objects for use by application programs, and to resolve pathnames and logical OIDs (LOIDs). Applications use the Object Cache Manager through the Shore class, the language binding (for C++, it is the class REF(t)(or its equivalent, Ref<T>) ), and others described in manual pages listed below.
