public class InterviewSet
extends Interview

InterviewSet is an interview that is also a container for an ordered set of child interviews. The default execution order for the children is the order in which they are added to this container, but the order can be modified by specifying dependencies between child interviews: all dependencies for any child will be executed before the child itself. Child interviews are added into an interview set by specifying this interview as their parent. The interview is invoked by using Interview.callInterview(com.sun.interview.Interview, com.sun.interview.Question) in the usual way.

Throws:
InterviewSet.CycleFault - if a dependency cycle would be created

removeDependency

protected void removeDependency(Interview child,
                                Interview dependency)
