public class ServiceRegistry extends Object
A registry for service provider instances.A service is a well-known set of interfaces and (usually abstract) classes. A service provider is a specific implementation of a service. The classes in a provider typically implement the interface or subclass the class defined by the service itself.
Service providers are stored in one or more categories, each of which is defined by a class of interface (described by a
Class
object) that all of its members must implement. The set of categories may be changed dynamically.Only a single instance of a given leaf class (that is, the actual class returned by
getClass()
, as opposed to any inherited classes or interfaces) may be registered. That is, suppose that thecom.mycompany.mypkg.GreenServiceProvider
class implements thecom.mycompany.mypkg.MyService
interface. If aGreenServiceProvider
instance is registered, it will be stored in the category defined by theMyService
class. If a new instance ofGreenServiceProvider
is registered, it will replace the previous instance. In practice, service provider objects are usually singletons so this behavior is appropriate.To declare a service provider, a
services
subdirectory is placed within theMETA-INF
directory that is present in every JAR file. This directory contains a file for each service provider interface that has one or more implementation classes present in the JAR file. For example, if the JAR file contained a class namedcom.mycompany.mypkg.MyServiceImpl
which implements thejavax.someapi.SomeService
interface, the JAR file would contain a file named:META-INF/services/javax.someapi.SomeService
containing the line:com.mycompany.mypkg.MyService
The service provider classes should be to be lightweight and quick to load. Implementations of these interfaces should avoid complex dependencies on other classes and on native code. The usual pattern for more complex services is to register a lightweight proxy for the heavyweight service.
An application may customize the contents of a registry as it sees fit, so long as it has the appropriate runtime permission.
For more details on declaring service providers, and the JAR format in general, see the JAR File Specification.

ServiceRegistry
public ServiceRegistry(Iterator<Class<?>> categories)
Constructs aServiceRegistry
instance with a set of categories taken from thecategories
argument.- Parameters:
categories
- anIterator
containingClass
objects to be used to define categories.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifcategories
isnull
.

Method Detail

lookupProviders
public static <T> Iterator<T> lookupProviders(Class<T> providerClass, ClassLoader loader)
Searches for implementations of a particular service class using the given class loader.This method transforms the name of the given service class into a provider-configuration filename as described in the class comment and then uses the
getResources
method of the given class loader to find all available files with that name. These files are then read and parsed to produce a list of provider-class names. The iterator that is returned uses the given class loader to look up and then instantiate each element of the list.Because it is possible for extensions to be installed into a running Java virtual machine, this method may return different results each time it is invoked.
- Parameters:
providerClass
- aClass
object indicating the class or interface of the service providers being detected.loader
- the class loader to be used to load provider-configuration files and instantiate provider classes, ornull
if the system class loader (or, failing that the bootstrap class loader) is to be used.- Returns:
- An
Iterator
that yields provider objects for the given service, in some arbitrary order. The iterator will throw anError
if a provider-configuration file violates the specified format or if a provider class cannot be found and instantiated. - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifproviderClass
isnull
.
-
lookupProviders
public static <T> Iterator<T> lookupProviders(Class<T> providerClass)
Locates and incrementally instantiates the available providers of a given service using the context class loader. This convenience method is equivalent to:ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); return Service.providers(service, cl);
- Parameters:
providerClass
- aClass
object indicating the class or interface of the service providers being detected.- Returns:
- An
Iterator
that yields provider objects for the given service, in some arbitrary order. The iterator will throw anError
if a provider-configuration file violates the specified format or if a provider class cannot be found and instantiated. - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifproviderClass
isnull
.
-
getCategories
public Iterator<Class<?>> getCategories()
Returns anIterator
ofClass
objects indicating the current set of categories. The iterator will be empty if no categories exist.- Returns:
- an
Iterator
containingClass
objects.
-
registerServiceProvider
public <T> boolean registerServiceProvider(T provider, Class<T> category)
Adds a service provider object to the registry. The provider is associated with the given category.If
provider
implements theRegisterableService
interface, itsonRegistration
method will be called. ItsonDeregistration
method will be called each time it is deregistered from a category, for example if a category is removed or the registry is garbage collected.- Parameters:
provider
- the service provide object to be registered.category
- the category under which to register the provider.- Returns:
- true if no provider of the same class was previously registered in the same category category.
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException

- if there is no category corresponding tocategory
.ClassCastException
- if provider does not implement theClass
defined bycategory
.
-
registerServiceProvider
public void registerServiceProvider(Object provider)
Adds a service provider object to the registry. The provider is associated within each category present in the registry whoseClass
it implements.If
provider
implements theRegisterableService
interface, itsonRegistration
method will be called once for each category it is registered under. ItsonDeregistration
method will be called each time it is deregistered from a category or when the registry is finalized.- Parameters:
provider
- the service provider object to be registered.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifprovider
isnull
.
-
registerServiceProviders
public void registerServiceProviders(Iterator<?> providers)
Adds a set of service provider objects, taken from anIterator
to the registry. Each provider is associated within each category present in the registry whoseClass
it implements.For each entry of
providers
that implements theRegisterableService
interface, itsonRegistration
method will be called once for each category it is registered under. ItsonDeregistration
method will be called each time it is deregistered from a category or when the registry is finalized.- Parameters:
providers
- an Iterator containing service provider objects to be registered.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifproviders
isnull
or contains anull
entry.
-
deregisterServiceProvider
public <T> boolean deregisterServiceProvider(T provider, Class<T> category)
Removes a service provider object from the given category. If the provider was not previously registered, nothing happens andfalse
is returned. Otherwise,true
is returned. If an object of the same class asprovider
but not equal (using==
) toprovider
is registered, it will not be deregistered.If
provider
implements theRegisterableService
interface, itsonDeregistration
method will be called.- Parameters:
provider
- the service provider object to be deregistered.category
- the category from which to deregister the provider.- Returns:
true
if the provider was previously registered in the same category category,false
otherwise.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
