Interface IPageProvider

All Known Subinterfaces:

IPageAndComponentProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

PageAndComponentProvider, PageProvider

public interface IPageProvider

Represents object capable of providing a page instance. In some cases the implementation class might now page class and page parameters without having the actual page instance. Thus it's recommended to call getPageParameters() instead of calling getPageInstance() .getPageParameters(). Same goes for page class.
