Interface

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicComponentInterface

public interface ComponentInterface

extends Interface

An extended Interface interface. This extended interface provides access to the object that implements a component interface.

Method Summary

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this component interface.
Object	getFcItfImpl() Returns the object that implements this component interface.
boolean	hasFcInterceptor() Returns true if this interface has a permanently associated interceptor.
void	setFcItfImpl(Object impl) Sets the object that implements this component interface.
void	setFcItfName(String name) Sets the name of this component interface.

Method Detail

setFcItfName

public void setFcItfName(String name)

Sets the name of this component interface.

Parameters:

name - the new name of this component interface.

getFcItfImpl

public Object getFcItfImpl()

Returns the object that implements this component interface.

Returns:

the object that implements this component interface.

setFcItfImpl

setFcItfImpl

public void setFcItfImpl(Object impl)

Sets the object that implements this component interface.

Parameters:

impl - the object that implements this component interface.

See Also:

getFcItfImpl

hasFcInterceptor

public boolean hasFcInterceptor()

Returns true if this interface has a permanently associated interceptor. Note that, due to the algorithm to compute shortcut links between components, the object that implements this component interface may temporarily be an interceptor object, even if this interface has no permanently associated interceptor. This method is therefore NOT equivalent to getFcItfImpl instanceof Interceptor (but it implies it).

Returns:

true if this interface has a permanently associated interceptor.

clone

public Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this component interface.

Returns:

a copy of this component interface.
