Interface Composable
- All Known Subinterfaces:
- Recomposable
- public interface Composable
A composer is a class that need 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.
