Interface Model

public interface Model

Container model.

The container model's base entity is a module defining specifications and implementations. Specifications define a public API. Implementations implement specifications and are expected to change independently of the specifications they implement. Implementations implementing the same specification can be exchanged during application assembly. Implementations may define configuration properties and dependencies to other implementations. When defining dependencies, properties defined for the implementation of the dependency may be overwritten by properties defined for the dependency.
