Constructor Detail

CxInterface

public CxInterface()

Default Constructor

CxInterface

public CxInterface(java.lang.String name,
                   boolean direction)

Constructor

Parameters:

name - the name of the interface

direction - true if the interface is provides, false if uses

Method Detail

isInterface
