Interface ModuleActivator

All Known Implementing Classes:

GeneNetModuleActivator, KeggPathwayModuleActivator, TranspathModuleActivator, StandardModuleActivator

public interface ModuleActivator

This class is used to activate the module during the process of module instalation. Examples of module activation actions are:

• request module key if module is not free
• copy some additional data in repository.
  For example, we distribute only Java code for GeneNet module, while GeneNet data is copied by module activator from MGL server.

pending refine comments, rename to ModucleActivator
