       +-XConnectable
Description makes it possible to connect data sinks and sources. The predecessor-member is the element in the connection that is nearer to the source of the data. The successor-member is the element that is further away from the source of the data. (Note that this classification does not depend on whether the class implements XInputStream or XOutputStream ; it only depends on the direction of data flow.) This interface allows generic services to navigate between arbitrary elements of a connection.
