Using the Library

Everything starts with getting an instance of the Staging object. There are DataProvider objects for each staging algorithm and version. The Staging object is thread safe and cached so subsequent calls to Staging.getInstance() will return the same object.

For example, to get an instance of the Collaborative Staging algorithm

Staging.getInstance(CsDataProvider.getInstance(CsVersion.v020550));

The staging entity supports the following APIs:
