public interface Aspectable
Interface for classes supporting aspect provisioning. Aspects provide means for optional functionalities. If an aspectable supports functionalities defined by an aspect's API, requesting the aspect's technical type, the AspectType, from the aspectable will return an object conforming to the respective programmatic type of the aspect. If an aspectable does not support the requested aspect, it returns null.

See the implementors of AspectType to find out about available aspect APIs.
