Interface BoardDAO

All Superinterfaces:

DataAccessObject

public interface BoardDAO

extends DataAccessObject

Data access object for boards and their zones.

Note that a Zone object is not strictly speaking a dependent object of the Board object it belongs to (there are direct references to zones from other objects, e.g. a Throw). However, a zone is owned by a particular board, so the 2 classes are very closely linked. This is the reason why the persistance for both is handled by a single DAO.
