Interface Callable

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractScriptComponent, AxisServiceComponent, FunctionalTestComponent, LogComponent, MuleManagerComponent, NullComponent

public interface Callable

SyncronousCallable is used to provide UMOs with an interface that supports event calls. UMO components do not have to implement this interface, though the onCall method provides an example lifecycle method that is executed when a event is received for the implementing component.
