Interface NonRecursiveFolder

public interface NonRecursiveFolder

Marker interface for representation of a folder without subfolders. When an implementation of this interface is contained in the lookup of a node, actions on that node should not process the subfolders of this folder. It is permitted for a Node to have both the DataFolder and NonRecursiveFolder in its lookup. In this case the NonRecursiveFolder.getFolder() has to return the same FileObject as the DataFolder#getPrimaryFile method. Any action which checks for the NonRecursiveFolder at all must prefer it to the DataFolder since it is considered to be more specific information.
