Areas of Use

Design of reusable composites, which have connectors (seeds). They may be used multiple times independently at various parts of the graph.

Classic way - indirect references

This approach keeps object references in a separate table. Components refer to each other indirectly using symbolic or non-symbolic ID keys. Auto-generated IDs are used by collections of arbitrary number of components. A reference table maps IDs to actual references and must be passed along every method call. Drawbacks and options:


Other ways

We haven't found any other implementated design that would share substantial part of whichever component (values and relations) that is same among arbitrary number of different recurrent graphs, where components could be used as fully-fledged entities without any auxiliaries.
