Interface ConnectionFactory

public interface ConnectionFactory

A Connection Factory service is called by the implementation of the Connector Service to create javax.microedition.io.Connection objects which implement the scheme named by IO_SCHEME. When a ConnectorService.open method is called, the implementation of the Connector Service will examine the specified name for a scheme. The Connector Service will then look for a Connection Factory service which is registered with the service property IO_SCHEME which matches the scheme. The createConnection(java.lang.String, int, boolean) method of the selected Connection Factory will then be called to create the actual Connection object.
