ClearableMetadataResolver (OpenSAML :: SAML Provider API 4.0.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:

ChainingMetadataResolver
```
public interface ClearableMetadataResolver
extends MetadataResolver
```
Specialization of MetadataResolver that supports on-demand clearing of the resolver's internal cache of data.
