Interface ServiceManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

AppServiceManager, JNLPServiceManager

public interface ServiceManager

This interface is implemented by all ServiceManagers. By using this interface instead of directly using JFileChooser, Printer etc, applications can make themselves JavaWebStart compatible, but still run as normal applications without needing the Java Web Start classes. By using a custom ServiceManager it is possible to provide a customized filechooser (for example) without making changes at many places within your program.
