public interface CeaApplication
extends Application

Registry description of a CEA application. A CEA application describes a number of parameters (p1,p2,p3 in the figure below). Each parameter is modelled by a ParameterBean which describes the name, type, and use of a parameter. The CEA application also describes a number of interfaces (i1,i2 in the figure}, which represent a set of parameters that the application can be invoked with. Each interface is modelled by a InterfaceBean, which contains a list of ParameterReferenceBean which refer back to the parameters.
