getServiceClass

public <T> Class<? extends T> getServiceClass(Class<T> iface,
                                     String name)
                                   throws ClassNotFoundException

findServiceResources

public Enumeration<URL> findServiceResources(String filePattern)

Returns all the available service resources matching the given pattern, such as all instances of tika-mimetypes.xml on the classpath, or all org.apache.tika.parser.Parser service files.

loadServiceProviders

public <T> List<T> loadServiceProviders(Class<T> iface)

Returns all the available service providers of the given type.

Parameters:

iface - service provider interface

Parameters:

iface - service provider interface

Returns:

dynamic service providers
