- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable, BroadleafEnumerationType
public class FileApplicationType
extends Object
implements Serializable, BroadleafEnumerationType
Any module within the BLC framework that needs to store and retrieve files from a remote storage such as
Rackspace CloudFiles or AmazonS3 should declare an application file type.
Many (or perhaps even most) implementations will just configure a provider for ALL. Implementations that deploy to
a single file system may use the default FileSystemProvider and not configure anything.
This enumeration is intended to provide a deployment team with the ability to make granular decisions on how files are
accessed and stored.
For example, Images might be stored on S3 whereas SiteMap creation might be stored on CloudFiles. These are just
arbitrary examples, but the intent is to give an implementation the ability to alter the storage paradigm based
on cost/reliability/performance needs that might vary by file type.
