Interface Traceable

All Known Implementing Classes:
ProtectedString

public interface Traceable
The interface for objects that supply a trace-specific string representation.

A Traceable object implements toTraceString to supply a trace-specific string representation of itself. An object should only implement this interface if it wants its representation in a trace stream to differ from that provided by its toString method.

If an object does not implement the Traceable interface the trace system will just use the result of its toString method to represent it in the trace stream.
