Interface ProductType

All Superinterfaces:

BaseObject, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable, ComponentType

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicProductType

public interface ProductType
extends ComponentType

A Product, in this context, is simply a named collection of Service types. For example, the MetaMatrix Server product has these service types: Query service, Transaction service, and RuntimeMetadata service.

A Product is a ComponentType subclass; it is a ComponentType, but has references to other ComponentTypes (specifically, ComponentTypes representing types of services). Since it is a ComponentType, it can be thought of as representing a type of Product (either Platform, MetaData Server, or MetaMatrix Server).

Note: Product type names where moved to MetaMatrixProductVersion in version 5.0 so that other classes that don't have a dependency on com.metamatrix.common can reference them.
