public interface Belonging

extends BusinessSmartComponent, com.sun.java.util.collections.Comparable

A Belonging is the simplest form of Business Smart Component. It is a lightweight, local value that can serialized. A Belonging must "belong" to another object. That object must have the only reference to that Belonging. For this reason the "value" of the Belonging must make a copy of the object that it will return. Belongings must be allocated from a corresponding SmartHome. Objects that have a stereotype of Belonging will automatically have a Smart Home and Base Implemenation class generated by the Theory's SmartGenerator. @see theory.smart.foundation.BelongingImpl
