Interface ObflParserFactoryService

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    ObflParserFactoryImpl

    public interface ObflParserFactoryService

    Provides an interface for a ObflParserFactory service. The purpose of this interface is to expose an implementation of a ObflParser as a service.

    To comply with this interface, an implementation must be thread safe and address both the possibility that only a single instance is created and used throughout and that new instances are created as desired.

    • Method Detail

      • newObflParser

        ObflParser newObflParser()
        Creates a new ObflParser.
        Returns:
        returns a new OBFL parser.
      • setCreatedWithSPI

        void setCreatedWithSPI()

        Informs the implementation that it was discovered and instantiated using information collected from a file within the META-INF/services directory. In other words, it was created using SPI (service provider interfaces).

        This information, in turn, enables the implementation to use the same mechanism to set dependencies as needed.

        If this information is not given, an implementation should avoid using SPIs and instead use declarative services for dependency injection as specified by OSGi. Note that this also applies to several newInstance() methods in the Java API.

        The class that created an instance with SPI must call this method before putting it to use.
