Class RepositoryConnectionFactory

java.lang.Object
com.ibm.wsspi.collective.repository.RepositoryConnectionFactory

public class RepositoryConnectionFactory extends Object
The RepositoryConnectionFactory creates (or retrieves) RepositoryClient and RepositoryMember.

The RepositoryClient or RepositoryMember returned can be held for a reasonable amount of time, and changes to the collective feature configuration will be gracefully handled.

The RepositoryConnectionFactory is also exposed as an OSGi service so that consumers of the service can block until the RepositoryConnectionFactory is ready, that is at least the RepositoryClient and RepositoryMember are available.
