IFileSystemEntryAccessor (formcycle: bom 8.3.4 API)

Type Parameters:

Holder - Type of the object containing the file system entry in its instance state.

Entry - Type of the file system entry.

All Known Subinterfaces:

IEntityFileSystemBeanAdapter<Entry,Entity,Scope>
```
public interface IFileSystemEntryAccessor<Holder,Entry extends IFileSystemEntry<Entry>>
```
An accessor for file system entries of a given type of object. Consists of two methods: one to extract the file system entry contained in the instance state of an object; and one to incorporate a given entry into the instance state of an object.
For example, a JPA entity might store the file path in a String field. The extractor method could split that string at the path separator (a forward slash /) and return a new file system with those path parts. The mutator method could join the path parts and store the new path in the entity.

```
void setFileSystemEntry(Holder object,
                        Entry entry)
```
    Incorporates the file system entry into the instance state of a given object, effectively moving the object to a new location on the file system. After this method completes successfully, extractEntry must return the same entry as the one passed to this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - The object whose instance state should be mutated.
    
    entry - The entry representing the new location for the object on the file system.
