The Interface Mechanism

Application Framework provides an interface mechanism that allows you to:

  • Track and process GUI actions (see the chapter on Actions ).

  • Perform introspection on your classes.

  • Script your classes.

This interface mechanism associates a name with a method or field of a class. The name of this method or field depends on how the interface mechanism is used. For introspection and scripting, the name is a key that identifies the method.
