Interface VariableDescription

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<ElementDescription<?>>, ElementDescription<Variable>, com.jbbres.lib.search.Searchable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultVariableDescription, ResourceBundleVariableDescription, SimpleVariableDescription

public interface VariableDescription
extends ElementDescription<Variable>

Provides information regarding the variable, such as its name, a short description, its version number etc.

Those information might or might not be the same as the one provided by the element information property list and have various usage within the workflow definition process, but one of the strength of the VariableDescription over the element information property list is that it can provide information specific to an instance of the action, where the element information property list only provide general information regarding the Variable class.
