```
public class Vector
extends Vector
implements BackedSCO
```
A mutable second-class Vector object. This class extends Vector, using that class to contain the current objects, and the backing ListStore to be the interface to the datastore. A "backing store" is not present for datastores that dont use DatastoreClass, or if the container is serialised or non-persistent.
Modes of Operation
The user can operate the list in 2 modes. The cached mode will use an internal cache of the elements (in the "delegate") reading them at the first opportunity and then using the cache thereafter. The non-cached mode will just go direct to the "backing store" each call.
Mutators
When the "backing store" is present any updates are passed direct to the datastore as well as to the "delegate". If the "backing store" isn't present the changes are made to the "delegate" only.
Accessors
When any accessor method is invoked, it typically checks whether the container has been loaded from its "backing store" (where present) and does this as necessary. Some methods (size()) just check if everything is loaded and use the delegate if possible, otherwise going direct to the datastore.

         Object element)
```
    Method to set the element at a position in the Vector.
    
    Specified by:
    
    set in interface List
    
    Overrides:
    
    set in class Vector
    
    Parameters:
    index - The position
    element - The new element
    
    Returns:
    The element previously at that position
  - setElementAt
```
public void setElementAt(Object element,
                int index)
```
    Method to set the element at a position in the Vector.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setElementAt in class Vector
    
    Parameters:
    element - The new element
    index - The position
  - writeReplace
```
protected Object writeReplace()
                       throws ObjectStreamException
```
    The writeReplace method is called when ObjectOutputStream is preparing to write the object to the stream. The ObjectOutputStream checks whether the class defines the writeReplace method. If the method is defined, the writeReplace method is called to allow the object to designate its replacement in the stream. The object returned should be either of the same type as the object passed in or an object that when read and resolved will result in an object of a type that is compatible with all references to the object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    writeReplace in class Vector
    
    Returns:
    the replaced object
    
    Throws:
    
    ObjectStreamException
