net.openwings.connector
Interface ConnectorLoader

public interface ConnectorLoader

This interface describes a utility that loads asynchronous and synchronous connectors. An implementation of this interface is obtained using the ConnectorLoaderFactory.

Method Summary

Connector	getConnector(java.lang.Class serviceInterface, java.lang.Class connectorInterface) This method instantiates and returns a connector for the given interface.
Connector	getConnector(java.lang.Class serviceInterface, java.lang.Class connectorInterface, java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader) This method attempts to use the given ClassLoader to instantiate a connector for the given interface.

Method Detail

getConnector

public Connector getConnector(java.lang.Class serviceInterface,
                              java.lang.Class connectorInterface)

This method instantiates and returns a connector for the given interface.

Parameters:

serviceInterface - Interface for which a connector is to be retrieved

connectorInterface - subtype of connector that is requested for example, net.openwings.connector.synchronous.SynchronousConnector or net.openwings.connector.asynchronous.AsynchronousConnector

getConnector

public Connector getConnector(java.lang.Class serviceInterface,
                              java.lang.Class connectorInterface,
                              java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader)

This method attempts to use the given ClassLoader to instantiate a connector for the given interface.

Parameters:

serviceInterface - Interface for which a connector is to be retrieved

connectorInterface - subtype of connector that is requested for example, net.openwings.connector.synchronous.SynchronousConnector or net.openwings.connector.asynchronous.AsynchronousConnector

classLoader - ClassLoader to use to obtain the Class of the connector implementation
