Interface DecisionDataHandle

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicDecisionDataHandle

public interface DecisionDataHandle

The DecisionDataHandle interface represents a decision made by, or a decision request sent to, the decision logic.

DecisionDataHandles are what gets passed between Conversations and DecisionLogicAdapters. Note: the utility of this interface is not clear at present; it may turn out to be preferable to pass the name & args directly, without this wrapper.
