Interface INamespace

All Superinterfaces:

INamespaceObject, Serializable

public interface INamespace
extends INamespaceObject

Represents a WLAI namespace. This class contains any number of objects (e.g. ApplicationViewDescriptors) and other namespaces. A namespace must always be created within another namespace, eventually leading back to the root namespace (a singleton in any WLAI server). Because this interface extends INamespaceObject, all implementations of this interface must be Serializable.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object obj) Compare this object to the given object and determine if they are equal.
boolean	isRoot() Indicates whether this namespace is the root namespace.
String	toString() Return a string representation of this namespace object that includes its name and any other relevant information.
