public interface Initializable

This interface should be implemented by Components that wish to provide a callback method to participate in container initialize operations. Work that is usually performed in the constructor can be placed here so that the container has more control. Also implement this interface if your Functional Implementation requires a reference to itself. Copyright 2002 Sapient
