Interface ExperimentalFactorReadService

All Known Implementing Classes:
ExperimentalFactorReadServiceImpl
public interface ExperimentalFactorReadService
Read-only retrieval service for ExperimentalFactor.

Phase 3 of the ExperimentalFactorService decomposition (strangler fig). This service houses the single custom read method previously implemented directly on the ExperimentalFactorServiceImpl facade: thaw, which delegates to ExperimentalFactorDao.thaw(ExperimentalFactor).

Sibling read surfaces live in ExperimentalDesignReadService; the read methods here operate on ExperimentalFactor directly and do not overlap.

Write-side methods (the remove overrides plus the inherited BaseService / AbstractVoEnabledService mutators) stay on the ExperimentalFactorService facade.

Callers should generally keep using ExperimentalFactorService as the facade -- the facade delegates to this service. Direct injection is appropriate where a class is logically read-only.

ACL / @Secured annotations live on ExperimentalFactorService (the caller-facing facade interface); enforcement happens at the facade proxy boundary, not here. The new read impl is unsecured at the AOP boundary on purpose -- intra-gemma-core callers that already hold an authenticated session bypass duplicate ACL checks.
