Direct Known Subclasses:

AbleClauseReferences

public class AbleReferences

extends java.util.Vector

This class is used to keep track of a set of references from other objects to the object that contains this "references" object.

In the base Able implementation, this class is used in the AbleVariable data object and allows each variable to keep track of other objects that reference that variable. Whenever each variable updates its "raw" value, the variable calls updateReferences() to perform some special handling.
