435  =head1 DESCRIPTION  =head1 DESCRIPTION
436    
437  Data::Storage is a module for accessing various "data structures" stored inside  =head2 Data::Storage
 various "data containers". It sits on top of DBI and/or Tangram.  
438    
439      Data::Storage is a module for accessing various "data structures / kinds of structured data" stored inside
440      various "data containers".
441      We tried to use the AdapterPattern (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AdapterPattern) to implement a wrapper-layer
442      around core CPAN modules (Tangram, DBI).
443    
444    =head2 Why?
445    
446      You will get a better code-structure (not bad for later maintenance) in growing Perl code projects,
447      especially when using multiple database connections at the same time.
448      You will be able to switch between different _kinds_ of implementations used for storing data.
449      Your code will use the very same API to access these storage layers.
450          ... implementation has to be changed for now
451      Maybe you will be able to switch "on-the-fly" without changing any bits in code in the future....
452          ... but that's not the focus

550        - where are the hooks needed then?
551          - is Data::Storage & Co. okay, or do we have to touch the innards of DBI and/or Tangram?
552          - an attempt to start could be:
553             - 'sub getACLByObjectId($id, $context)'
554             - 'sub getACLByMethodname($id, $context)'
555             - 'sub getACLByName($id, $context)'
556                ( would require a kinda registry to look up these very names pointing to arbitrary locations (code, data, ...) )
