Hello guys, I was trying to implement javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.lookupProviders(Class) method (logged as HARMONY-6553 [0]). What this method does is parse the service provider-configuration file to get a set of service provider’s class name, and instantiate them.[1]
Alexei has found a really interesting documentation that shows Java 6 has introduced a new class, java.util.ServiceLoader<S> [2], a simple service-provider loading facility. It can do everything that lookupProviders(Class) needs to do, so we were thinking maybe we can re-use this class? We found out later that this class is not implemented right now. Is anyone working on this? Do we have any plan on this? Thanks, Lang [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6553 [1] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/imageio/spi/ServiceRegistry.html#lookupProviders%28java.lang.Class%29 [2] http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html
