Interface UpdateableObject

public interface UpdateableObject

This interface marks an object as updateable, that means, the object has a system-wide unique ID represented as URI. The URI specifies the (internal) ID of the object and the component managing the object. With this information the registry can return a reference to the component which in turn can be requested for the designated object. The URI is mainly used to identify an object when monitoring, that is, updates on objects are propagated in the UpdateManager via the URI. Information on how the URI looks like can be found in ProcessElementIdentifierTools.
