Interface Parameter

All Known Implementing Classes:

ParameterImpl

public interface Parameter

A Parameter for configuring classes.

A Parameter is made up of a Property, a ParameterConversion and either required or optional.

Implementations of Object.hashCode() and Object.equals(Object) must mirror the respective behaviour of the encapsulated Property, that is, a Parameter's identity is agnostic of its ParameterConversion and whether it is required or not.
