Store (Apache Tomcat 8.0.15 API Documentation)

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileStore, JDBCStore, StoreBase
```
public interface Store
```
A Store is the abstraction of a Catalina component that provides persistent storage and loading of Sessions and their associated user data. Implementations are free to save and load the Sessions to any media they wish, but it is assumed that saved Sessions are persistent across server or context restarts.

  - setManager
```
void setManager(Manager manager)
```
    Set the Manager associated with this Store.
    
    Parameters:
    manager - The Manager which will use this Store.
  - getSize
```
int getSize()
            throws IOException
```
    Return the number of Sessions present in this Store.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an input/output error occurs
  - addPropertyChangeListener
```
void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)
```
    Add a property change listener to this component.
    
    Parameters:
    listener - The listener to add
  - keys
```
String[] keys()
              throws IOException
```
    Return an array containing the session identifiers of all Sessions currently saved in this Store. If there are no such Sessions, a zero-length array is returned.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an input/output error occurred
  - load
```
Session load(String id)
             throws ClassNotFoundException,
                    IOException
```
    Load and return the Session associated with the specified session identifier from this Store, without removing it. If there is no such stored Session, return null.
    
    Parameters:
    id - Session identifier of the session to load
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassNotFoundException - if a deserialization error occurs
    
    IOException - if an input/output error occurs
  - remove
```
void remove(String id)
            throws IOException
```
    Remove the Session with the specified session identifier from this Store, if present. If no such Session is present, this method takes no action.
    
    Parameters:
    id - Session identifier of the Session to be removed
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an input/output error occurs

```
void clear()
           throws IOException
```

    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - removePropertyChangeListener
```
void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)
```
    Remove a property change listener from this component.
    
    Parameters:
    listener - The listener to remove
  - save
```
void save(Session session)
          throws IOException
```
    Save the specified Session into this Store. Any previously saved information for the associated session identifier is replaced.
