Interface EntityAttributesPreparer<T extends EntityAttributes>

All Known Implementing Classes:

CreationTimeSetter, UidGidEntityOwnershipSetter

public interface EntityAttributesPreparer<T extends EntityAttributes>

This interface defines an object that is used by the entity attributes-enabling entity delegate to prepare an EntityAttributes object of a newly created entity.

One instance of this class is shared within a file system. As a consequence, implementations may not contain any mutable internal state.

Implementation tip: let an EntityAttributesPreparer proxy another so that preparers can be chained.
