[Figleaf-developer] Questions regarding ObjectManager

[<sam...@ma...>]

Firstly, is this better off being named something like PersistenceLayer?

Secondly, there seems to be some overlapping methods, for example (this from my
TransientObjectManager):

public Informative newInstance(Class clazz) {
  return informativeFactory.createInformative(clazz.newInstance());
}

public Informative introspect(Object obj) {
  return factory.createInformative(obj);
}

Are both needed? I'm keen not to put in a requirement for methods to be
implemented that we might not even end up using.

As for the method:

Informative getObject(Class clazz, Serializable id);

Do we need this? Surely this should be handled by whatever query mechanism we use.
