Interface BidirectionalConnectionComponent<INPUT,OUTPUT>

Type Parameters:

INPUT - The type of the input connection to be used.

OUTPUT - The type of the output connection to be used.

All Superinterfaces:

BidirectionalConnectionOpenable<INPUT,OUTPUT>, Closable

All Known Subinterfaces:

BidirectionalConnectionComponent.BidirectionalConnectionAutomaton<INPUT,OUTPUT>

public interface BidirectionalConnectionComponent<INPUT,OUTPUT>
extends BidirectionalConnectionOpenable<INPUT,OUTPUT>, Closable

A component implementing the BidirectionalConnectionComponent interface supports a connection. I.e. such a component may be instructed open or close a connection:

"open" - "close"

In case no connection is to be provided to the #open(Object) method (as it may have been passed via the constructor), you may use the LinkComponent interface with its Openable.open() method, which does not require any arguments specifying a connection.
