| /** | |
| * <p> | |
| * This interface is implemented by a JavaBean that does | |
| * not directly have a BeanContext(Child) associated with | |
| * it (via implementing that interface or a subinterface thereof), | |
| * but has a public BeanContext(Child) delegated from it. | |
| * For example, a subclass of java.awt.Container may have a BeanContext | |
| * associated with it that all Component children of that Container shall | |
| * be contained within. | |
| * </p> | |
| * <p> | |
| * An Object may not implement this interface and the | |
| * BeanContextChild interface | |
| * (or any subinterfaces thereof) they are mutually exclusive. | |
| * </p> | |
| * <p> | |
| * Callers of this interface shall examine the return type in order to | |
| * obtain a particular subinterface of BeanContextChild as follows: | |
| * <pre>{@code | |
| * BeanContextChild bcc = o.getBeanContextProxy(); | |
| * | |
| * if (bcc instanceof BeanContext) { | |
| * // ... | |
| * } | |
| * }</pre> | |
| * or | |
| * <pre>{@code | |
| * BeanContextChild bcc = o.getBeanContextProxy(); | |
| * BeanContext bc = null; | |
| * | |
| * try { | |
| * bc = (BeanContext)bcc; | |
| * } catch (ClassCastException cce) { | |
| * // cast failed, bcc is not an instanceof BeanContext | |
| * } | |
| * }</pre> | |
| * <p> | |
| * The return value is a constant for the lifetime of the implementing | |
| * instance | |
| * </p> | |
