Class aid.cbr.tools.core.memory.casebase.CaseBaseDictionary

public class CaseBaseDictionary
extends Object
implements VetoableChangeListener
A case base dictionary maintains a list of case bases to access them by their names. In addition, the dictionnary is automatically updated if the case base names are changed. But, if a case base name is changed to an existing name, then a veto exception is raised and the modification is rolled back. Thus, a dictionary ensures that declared case bases have different names.
