Class semper.archive.AccessName 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----semper.archive.AccessName
public class AccessName
extends Object
implements Serializable
This class implements handles associated with archived objects.
It Includes the following attributes wich are used to index the objects in the database:
- a name (String)
- optional : a serial number (long)

It is up to the archive users to construct the name to be used within the AccessName.
It is also up to the archive users to decide if they want to integrate a serial number into the access name of their stored objects. Use ArchiveMan.getSerialNumber().

Examples:

AccessName a_n_1 = new AccessName("MyPurse");
AccessName a_n_2 = new AccessName(("Certificate" + _caName + _userId"), _serialNr);
System.out.println("flattened access name : " + a_n_2.toString());
AccessName a_n_3 = new AccessName(a_n_2.name, ArchiveMan.getSerialNumber());
