            throws InstantiationException

Creates an interface type.

Parameters:

name - the name of interfaces of this type (see getFcItfName).

signature - signatures of the methods of interfaces of this type. In Java this "signature" is the fully qualified name of a Java interface corresponding to these method signatures.

isClient - true if component interfaces of this type are client interfaces.

isOptional - true if component interfaces of this type are optional interfaces.

isCollection - true if a component may have several interfaces of this type.

Returns:

an interface type initialized with the given values.

Throws:

InstantiationException - if the interface type cannot be created.

public ComponentType createFcType(InterfaceType[] interfaceTypes)
            throws InstantiationException

Creates a component type.

Parameters:

interfaceTypes - the interface types of the component type to be created.

Returns:

a component type whose getFcInterfaceTypes method returns an array equal to interfaceTypes.

Throws:

InstantiationException - if the component type cannot be created.
