element - A 'component' element from the 'components' XSD. |
| getBlock | | Block getBlock(String name)(Code) | | Gets a specific block. If there is no such block, then null is returned.

|
| getDefaultBlock | | Block getDefaultBlock()(Code) | | Gets the one block that is the 'default' block of this component

|
| getUnsatisfiedDependencies | | Collection<VirtualComponent> getUnsatisfiedDependencies()(Code) | | The unsatisfied dependencies, so this should return an empty collection. Unless the framework

ComponentRepository will call
Component.resolve(VirtualComponent,Component) when a
dependency is satisfied after all.
