RefCountingBLOBFileValue (Apache Jackrabbit 2.23.1-beta API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.jackrabbit.core.value.RefCountingBLOBFileValue

All Implemented Interfaces:

Binary
```
public class RefCountingBLOBFileValue
extends Object
```
RefCountingBLOBFileValue implements a reference counting BLOB file value on top of an existing BLOBFileValue. Whenever a copy() is created from this BLOB file value, a new light weight RefCountingBLOBFileValue.RefCountBinary is created and the reference count refCount is incremented. The underlying value is discarded once this RefCountingBLOBFileValue and all its light weight RefCountingBLOBFileValue.RefCountBinary instances have been discarded.
