public interface Openable

This mixin might be implemented by a component in order to provide opening connection(s) facilities. The semantics of this interface is very similar to that of the Initializable interface. To clarify the context regarding connections, the Openable interface has been introduced.

In case a connection is to be provided to the open() method, you may use the ConnectionOpenable interface with its ConnectionOpenable.open(Object) method, which provides an argument specifying the connection to be passed to the Component.
