@Deprecated
public interface DataProvider<T>
extends ManagedDataSource<T>

DataProvider is responsible for retrieving space data from external data source.

This interfaces should be implemented for simple space access.

DataProvider is used by the space in the following scenarios:
- reads by UID.
- empty template.
- non-abstract class without extended match codes.

Any other scenario requires an implementation of the SQLDataProvider. Note: If SQLDataProvider is implemented, the space will use it for all the read operations instead of the DataProvider. Implement this interface only if you don't intend to use SQLQuery at all.

Since:

6.0
