Interface ReferenceBinary

All Superinterfaces:
Binary
@ProviderType public interface ReferenceBinary extends Binary
Referenceable binary. In addition to the normal JCR Binary functionality, implementations of this class contain a secure reference to the storage location of the binary stream. This reference can be used to efficiently copy binaries across servers as long as both the source and target servers use the same underlying storage for binaries.
