- All Superinterfaces:
- Serializable
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- BasicPattern
public interface Pattern
extends Serializable
Pattern is able to check whether it is matched by a Description.
Pattern must properly implement hashCode() and equals(), so it can serve as a container key.
It also must be a serializable java object, although a Registry may choose to avoid serialization
to avoid possible version conflicts.
