Interface XletBoundProvider

All Superinterfaces:

Provider

public interface XletBoundProvider
extends Provider

Interface for all Xlet-bound providers. An instance of an Xlet-bound provider provides its services for exactly one xlet: The xlet with which that provider is registered. The classes of the provider are in the classloader hierarchy of the xlet itself. This leads to a very simple mechanism, because there are no issues with instance sharing between the provider and the xlet that uses the provider. However, it has the disadvantage that every xlet that needs the services provided must carry its own copy of the provider.

Since:

MHP 1.1.3
