  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class BufferedResourceList
    extends ResourceList
    The BufferedResourceList class represents a subclass of the ResourceList class which manages a list of resources and buffers them efficiently. This class is intended to be extended and customized by subclasses.

    The list is retrieved in pages, and each page contains multiple resources (those which make up the list). The higher that page size, the more resources are retrieved at once. While the page size does not affect functionality of the list, it may influence performance. For instance, setting the page size to match the number of rows presented in a GUI or servlet may improve overall response time. Call the setPageSize() method to set a specific page size.
