public interface LinkComponent
extends Openable, Closable

A component implementing the LinkComponent interface supports establishing a connection (not necessarily a network connection). I.e. such a component may be instructed open or close a connection:

"open" - "close"

In case a connection is to be provided to the Openable.open() method, you may use the ConnectionComponent interface with its ConnectionOpenable.open(Object) method, which provides an argument specifying the connection to be passed to the Component.

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static interface	LinkComponent.LinkAutomaton	A system implementing the LinkComponent.LinkAutomaton interface supports managing LinkComponent instances and takes care that the open/close statuses are invoked in the correct order by throwing according exceptions in case the open/close-cycle is invoked in the wrong order.
static interface	LinkComponent.LinkComponentBuilder<B extends LinkComponent.LinkComponentBuilder<B>>	Similar to the LinkComponent with additional according builder methods.
