Interface StorageExecutableComponentDescription

All Superinterfaces:
AbstractExecutableComponentDescription, PluginDataContainer, UserAttributeContainer

public interface StorageExecutableComponentDescription extends AbstractExecutableComponentDescription
This interface provides the means to store an ExecutableComponentDescription which is supported by not inheriting any attributes from a parent parameter (in contrast to the interface ExecutableComponentDescription. Only the information on whether an attribute is to be inherited is available but not the value itself since this is not needed for storing. This applies to all methods of this interface, irrespective of the documentation of the methods.
