    public class ContentReference
    extends Object

      • DEFAULT_MAX_CONTENT_SNIPPET

        public static final int DEFAULT_MAX_CONTENT_SNIPPET
        Include at most first 500 characters/bytes from contents; should be enough to give context, but not cause unfortunate side effects in things like logs.
