Interface Configurable

All Known Subinterfaces:

Reconfigurable

public interface Configurable

This interface should be implemented by classes that need to be configured with custom parameters before initialization.
The contract surrounding a Configurable is that the instantiating entity must call the configure method before it is valid.
Note that this interface is incompatible with Parameterizable.
