Package uk.co.caprica.vlcj.factory.discovery.provider

Class DirectoryProviderDiscoveryStrategy

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    NativeDiscoveryStrategy
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    LinuxNativeDiscoveryStrategy, OsxNativeDiscoveryStrategy, WindowsNativeDiscoveryStrategy
    public abstract class DirectoryProviderDiscoveryStrategy
extends BaseNativeDiscoveryStrategy
    Implementation of a native discovery strategy that searches a list of well-known directories.

    The standard ServiceLoader mechanism is used to load DiscoveryDirectoryProvider instances that will provide the lists of directories to search.

    By using service loader, a client application can easily add their own search directories simply by adding their own implementation of a discovery directory provider to the run-time classpath, and adding registering their provider class in META-INF/services/uk.co.caprica.vlcj.discovery.provider.DiscoveryDirectoryProvider - the client application need not concern itself directly with the default NativeDiscovery component.

    Provider implementations have a priority. All of the standard provider implementations have a priority < 0, see DiscoveryProviderPriority. A client application with its own provider implementations can return a priority value as appropriate to ensure their own provider is used before or after the other implementations.
