org.tm4j.topicmap.index .IndexManager

An IndexManager controls access to all of the indexes for a particular topic map. Depending upon the implementation, this manager may be responsible for initialising indexes when it is created (or initialisation may be deferred until a specific index is requested). As well as managing the Index objects, this class also manages real-time meta data about the indexes - this meta data includes whether or not the index is already initialised, whether or not an explicit runtime initialisation is required and whether or not the index automatically updates itself as the topic map contents change. It also defines short cut access methods to all regular (part of tm4j and available for all backends) indices
