Interface ACRequestor

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultWTRequestor, TypeBasedRequestor

public interface ACRequestor

This interface can serve as a mediary between a group of objects (Java collections or otherwise) such that delegation can occur without converting it to an Object[]. This is especially useful for WTCollections, as it allows the delegate mechanism itself to return connected WTSets as values.

Supported API: false

Extendable: false

Method Summary

Object[]	getRequestors() Returns the requestors represented by the internal data of this ACRequestor.
Set	getSet(Object[] requestors) Returns a set of the objects contained in this ACRequestor by requestor type (the "requestor type" is one of the values returned by getRequestors().

Method Detail

public Object[] getRequestors()

Object[]

public Set getSet(Object[] requestors)

Returns a set of the objects contained in this ACRequestor by requestor type (the "requestor type" is one of the values returned by getRequestors().
