com.bea.wlai.common
Interface INamespace

All Known Implementing Classes:

Namespace

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.
