Interface AccessibleComposite

All Superinterfaces:

Composite

All Known Implementing Classes:

CompositeImpl

public interface AccessibleComposite
extends Composite

An extended version of the Composite interface which also allows access to the data passed via the mutating methods.

During a builder operation, it is typically sufficient to use the Composite interface; the provided methods allow changing the state of a container component. For objects implementing this functionality, however, further methods are required in order to access the data passed to the Composite methods. These methods are defined by this extended interface.
