public interface OutputArguments

extends Arguments

The Arguments interface. The datatype behind is just a collection of Adapter Arguments.

The Arguments datatype handles Init, Input and Filtering arguments, where filtering arguments are one or more OutputArgument with specified filtering conditions.

The Service knows which parameters that are related to the Input, Output and Init parameters of an Adapter. But the Arguments structure is not aware of this, and therefore an Argument name must be unqiue within the complete Arguments context for one combination of a Service and an Adapter.

Each Adapter defines it's Arguments, and the Services can set caption and values on these arguments. An Argument value can be overidden by other Services in the service chain, and therefore this datatype supports mergning of Arguments.
