Interface UpdateManager

public interface UpdateManager

  A representation of a manager that processes updates.

  The manager interface does not present methods for adding and removing updatable entities as implementations may choose to do this in a number of different ways. For example a manager may only work with one item, while others might collect a bunch together.
