Interface IDefinitionAwareAction

All Superinterfaces:
IAction
public interface IDefinitionAwareAction extends IAction
Makes an Action privy to certain details about the action definition that is responsible for executing it. This is the only Action interface that should know anything about an action definition or the fact that it is even being executed by way of an action sequence at all, for that matter. This interface is often used in concert with IPreProcessingAction.
