```
public interface Declarable
```
An object that can be described in a declarative caching XML file.
Any user-defined object in the declarative caching xml file should implement this interface in order to be constructed.
For example, the user can declare a CacheLoader in a declarative XML file as follows:
```
        <cache-loader>
          <class-name>com.company.app.DBLoader</class-name>
          <parameter name="URL">
            <string>jdbc://12.34.56.78/mydb</string>
          </parameter>
        </cache-loader>
 
```
In this case, com.company.app.DBLoader must implement both the CacheLoader and Declarable interfaces. The cache service will construct a com.company.app.DBLoader object by invoking the loader's zero-argument constructor and then calling the init(java.util.Properties) method to pass in the parameters.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default void`	`init(java.util.Properties props)`	Deprecated. as of Geode 1.5 implement initialize instead.

@Deprecated
default void init(java.util.Properties props)
```
    Deprecated.
    as of Geode 1.5 implement initialize instead.
    
    Initializes a user-defined object using the given properties. Note that any uncaught exception thrown by this method will cause the Cache initialization to fail.
    
    Parameters:
    
    props - Contains the parameters declared in the declarative xml file.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If one of the configuration options in props is illegal or malformed.
  - initialize
```
default void initialize(Cache cache,
                        java.util.Properties properties)
```
    Initializes a user-defined object, owned by the given cache, using the given properties. Note that any uncaught exception thrown by this method will cause the Cache initialization to fail. Note that if this method is implemented then the deprecated init method should not be implemented. The product will call both methods assuming that only one will have a non-default implementation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cache - the cache that owns this declarable
    
    properties - Contains the parameters declared in the declarative xml file.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - should be thrown if properties contains something unexpected.
