- Method Detail
  - getName
```
java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns:
    
    the name of the interface
  - getId
```
java.lang.String getId()
```
    Returns:
    
    the id of this interface within the component that defines it (can be interpreted as the *role* name of this interface in the component)
  - isOrdered
```
boolean isOrdered()
```
    Returns:
    
    Tells whether the order of realizations of this interface is relevant or not.
  - isUniqueComponents
```
boolean isUniqueComponents()
```
    Returns:
    
    Tells whether there is a limitation that each component must be contained at most once
  - isOptional
```
boolean isOptional()
```
    Returns:
    
    Tells whether the required interface is optional
  - getMin
```
int getMin()
```
    The minimum can be greater than 0 even if the interface is optional. In that case, the semantic is: Either the interface is not satisfied or it has at least this number of realizations.
    
    Returns:
    
    minimum number of required realizations if satisfied at all
  - getMax
```
int getMax()
```
    Returns:
    
    maximum number of allowed realizations
