Interface BookmarkableInterface

public interface BookmarkableInterface

Defines an interface for objects that can be bookmarked. An object that can be bookmarked is one that can encapsulate an aspect of its current state into something that can be saved and returned to later. For example, a particular url in a web browser or a drill path in a multidimensional table.

Consumers of this interface will usually associate a name with the data returned by getBookmark() and package both as a BookmarkInterface.
