Class Services

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.openjpa.lib.util.Services

public class Services
extends Object

Utility classes to locate services, as defined in the Jar File Specification. Most of the methods in this class can also be found in the sun.misc.Service class, but since it is undocumented, we cannot rely on its API. Service location for a specified interface is done by searching for the resource /META-INF/services/service.class.name, and loading the resource. Methods in this class that do not declare exceptions will never throw Runtime exceptions: exceptions are silently swallowed and empty array values are returned.
