Package de.aristaflow.adept2.model.activitymodel

Interface ECDReference

All Superinterfaces:

PluginDataContainer, Serializable, UserAttributeContainer

public interface ECDReference
extends UserAttributeContainer, PluginDataContainer, Serializable

The lightweight representation of an ExecutableComponentDescription for usage in the activity repository. This reference allows to return just the data necessary to display the ExecutableComponentDescription to the user.

References are not subject of inheritance; all attributes are the result of merging the corresponding attributes of all parent entities. Therefore when changing an entity, always refresh the corresponding reference and all references of the children.
