Interface Executable

All Known Subinterfaces:

Command, DelayedCommand, RepeatedCommand

public interface Executable

The Executable can be implemented by components that need to perform some work. In many respects it is similar to Runnable except that it also allows an application to throw a non-Runtime Exception.

The work done may be short lived (ie a simple task) or it could be a long running.
