Interface ISolutionActionDefinition

public interface ISolutionActionDefinition
The ActionDefinition represents the definition and metadata for a single action execution, which is equivalent to one execution of any given Component.

The ActionDefinition is derived from the solution's action sequence document. One ActionDefinition is handed to the appropriate Component, and provides all the necessary inputs, outputs and resources for that Component to execute.
