Interface Startable


public interface Startable

This interface is used when you have a Component that must be run for the time of it's existence. Note, these methods are not to be confused with the java.lang.Thread methods. It provides a method through which components can be "started" and "stopped" without requiring a thread. Useful for reactive or passive objects.
