IClRepositoryObject (org.faktorips.runtime 21.6.0-SNAPSHOT API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

IProductComponentLink<T>, IXmlPersistenceSupport

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProductComponent, ProductComponentGeneration, ProductComponentLink
```
public interface IClRepositoryObject
```
Objects that are loaded by the class loader repository need to implement this interface. The class loader repository can by means of this interface assume that the object provided by the repository knows how to initialize itself. SW 09.2011: With the implementation of product variants an extension interface ( IXmlPersistenceSupport) was created. IXmlPersistenceSupport is not published as should be this interface. Sadly this cannot be undone as it is extended by IProductComponentLink and generated code relies on it.
