All Superinterfaces:

ComponentLifecycle, Containable, ExpressoComponent, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

RootContainer

public interface RootContainerInterface

extends Containable, ComponentLifecycle, ExpressoComponent

This interface represents the special container case of the Root container where we need to store specific runtime information. It is not often utilized directly except through configuration information/management of the Expresso runtime system.
