Interface CySessionManager
-
public interface CySessionManager
This class primarily acts as a listener and tracks the state of the Cytoscape application. This state can be interrogated at any time and the result is an immutableCySession
object suitable for serialization. Likewise, setting a new session will replace the current session with a new one.Module:
session-api
To use this in your app, include the following dependency in your POM:
<dependency> <groupId>org.cytoscape</groupId> <artifactId>session-api</artifactId> </dependency>
Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (API Interface): We expect that this interface will be used but not implemented by developers using this interface. As such, we reserve the right to add methods to the interface as part of minor version upgrades. We will not remove methods for any changes other than major version upgrades.
