All Superinterfaces:

net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.component.Component, net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.component.IdentifiedComponent, MetadataResolver, net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.resolver.Resolver<EntityDescriptor,net.shibboleth.utilities.java.support.resolver.CriteriaSet>

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.
This would typically be implemented by "dynamic" resolvers of metadata such as DynamicMetadataResolver, rather than "batch" resolvers such as BatchMetadataResolver.
