Interface ConnectionProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultConnectionProvider, JaxMasConnectionProvider

public interface ConnectionProvider

A connection provider is able to create a (possibly new) CentraSite connection. Instances of this class are typically passed to objects, which might need a CentraSite connection, but not necessarily so. For example, if an importer or exporter detects an error, then it won't require a connection, if it does in its normal operation.
