Griddle doesn't include any explicit persistence.  You could perhaps use an
executor to make the content of a database available.  But, I'm not planning on
making that an "integral" part of the system at this time.  My main focus is to
create a space that can do some of the things that have been requested of
Javaspaces for range based matching, executor based filtering etc. Javaspaces
doesn't have the ability to easily support this because of its use of Marshalled
data in the space.  That's fine, I think it works great for many types of
applications.  There are others that need similar disconnected communications,
but with some vastly different requirements in processing data as it flows through.
