public interface Parameterizable

Components should implement this interface if they wish to be provided with parameters during startup.

The Parameterizable interface is a light-weight alternative to the Configurable interface. As such, the Parameterizable interface and the Configurable interface are not compatible.

This interface will be called after Composable.compose() and before Initializable.initialize().
