Interface EngineProvider

  • public interface EngineProvider
    The EngineProvider instance manufactures an Engine instance, which is available in the system.

    At initialization time, the ServiceLoader will search for EngineProvider implementations available in the class path.

    Engine is designed as a collection of singletons. Engine.getInstance() will return the default Engine, which is the first one found in the classpath. Many of the standard APIs will rely on this default Engine instance such as when creating a NDManager or Model. However, you can directly get a specific Engine instance (e.g. MxEngine) by calling Engine.getEngine(String).
