ApplicationStatePersistenceStrategy (Tapestry API - 5.8.6)

All Known Implementing Classes:

EntityApplicationStatePersistenceStrategy, EntityApplicationStatePersistenceStrategy, SessionApplicationStatePersistenceStrategy
```
public interface ApplicationStatePersistenceStrategy
```
Used by ApplicationStateManager to manage a specific kind of Session State Object (SSO) persistence. The strategy is responsible for managing SSO instances within its domain.
NOTE: The term "Application" here is a hold-over from Tapestry 5.0, which used the @ApplicationState (deprecated and deleted) annotation, and called them "ASOs" (Application State Objects). This service would be better named "SessionStatePersistenceStrategy" (but renaming it would cause backwards compatibility issues).
