public interface Displayable

Interface to be implemented by a Component whose input widget values (view state) can be translated to and from a String represenatation.

This interface is the equivalent for view objects to what the Stringable interface represents for model objects.

The functionality of the entire GUI package of the JPT assumes that each classes implementing this interface is a derived class of Component, although this requirement cannot be policed by a compiler.

Since:

1.0
