Interface Agent

public interface Agent

The Agent interface describes the client that is making the request that will display the rendered output.

Implementations that provide the set of capabilities must clearly define the names of these capabilities and their values.

Capability names that are implementation private must be defined so using appropriate naming schemes. ADF private capability names are prefixed using "-adfinternal-xxx", and such capability names (and their values) may change at anytime (and not guaranteed to be supported in future releases).
