ResourceDigestManager (Tapestry API - 5.8.7)

All Superinterfaces:

InvalidationEventHub

All Known Implementing Classes:

ResourceDigestManagerImpl
```
public interface ResourceDigestManager
extends InvalidationEventHub
```
Deprecated.
Deprecated in 5.4 with no replacement; see release notes about classpath assets moving to /META-INF/assets/. To be removed in 5.5.

Caches information about resources on the classpath. In addition, acts as an invalidation hub for any resources for which information is obtained (when any of the resources are changed, invalidation listeners are notified so they can clear their caches). Note that the name and role of this class changed (and diminished) quite a bit in Tapestry 5.3. It is now focused on determining which files require a digest, and which what the digests are for resources. Further, in 5.4, this service has been stripped down to an unused placeholder; it only present to prevent errors where modules have contributed a String extension to protected (even though the service is internal). As of 5.4, all assets have a built-in checksum in the URL directly (in 5.3 and earlier, the URL included the application version number).
