Interface Template

public interface Template

Provides the participating snap-ins instance data when implementing multiple snap-ins in a single class.

The Template interface can be implemented when you have several snap-in items that are largely the same and you do not want to create a separate class for each. You can create all the snap-in items in the same class by implementing the setInstanceData() method. ConsoleOne then passes the instanceData to the snap-in that was obtained from the RegistrationItem constructor when the getRegistration() method is called for the snap-in. This gives the snap-in a chance to uniquely identify itself in the java class containing other similar snap-ins.

Method Summary

void	setInstanceData(java.lang.Object instanceData) Passes the participating snap-in the instanceData provided in its RegistrationItem[] information.
