Interface HandlerService<DT,PT extends HandlerPlugin<DT>>

Type Parameters:

DT - Base data type handled by the handlers.

PT - Plugin type of the handlers.

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Prioritized>, Contextual, Disposable, HasPluginInfo, Prioritized, PTService<PT>, RichPlugin, SciJavaPlugin, Service, SingletonService<PT>, Typed<DT>, TypedService<DT,PT>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHandlerService

public interface HandlerService<DT,PT extends HandlerPlugin<DT>>
extends SingletonService<PT>, TypedService<DT,PT>

A service for managing HandlerPlugins of a particular type.

For any given data object, the service is capable of determining the most appropriate handler by sequentially querying each handler plugin on its list (via Typed.supports(T)).
