Interface Composable
public interface Composable
A
Composable class is one that needs to connect to software
components using a "role" abstraction, thus not depending on particular
implementations but on behavioral interfaces.
The contract surrounding a
Composable is that it is a user.
The
Composable is able to use
Components managed
by the
ComponentManager it was initialized with. As part
of the contract with the system, the instantiating entity must call
the
compose method before the
Composable
can be considered valid.
Deprecated:
Use Serviceable instead.
