Class TerminalFactorySpi

java.lang.Object

javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactorySpi

public abstract class TerminalFactorySpi
extends Object

The TerminalFactorySpi class defines the service provider interface. Applications do not access this class directly, instead see TerminalFactory.

Service providers that want to write a new implementation should define a concrete subclass of TerminalFactorySpi with a constructor that takes an Object as parameter. That class needs to be registered in a Provider. The engine type is TerminalFactory. Service providers also need to implement subclasses of the abstract classes CardTerminals, CardTerminal, Card, and CardChannel.

For example:

file MyProvider.java:

 package com.somedomain.card;

 import java.security.Provider;

 public class MyProvider extends Provider {
     public MyProvider() {
         super("MyProvider", 1.0d, "Smart Card Example");
         put("TerminalFactory.MyType", "com.somedomain.card.MySpi");
     }
 }

file MySpi.java

 package com.somedomain.card;

 import javax.smartcardio.*;

 public class MySpi extends TerminalFactoySpi {
      public MySpi(Object parameter) {
          // initialize as appropriate
      }
      protected CardTerminals engineTerminals() {
          // add implementation code here
      }
 }

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected Object	clone()	Answers a new instance of the same class as the receiver, whose slots have been filled in with the values in the slots of the receiver.
boolean	equals(Object o)	Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
protected void	finalize()	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. May cause performance issues, deadlocks and hangs.
final Class<? extends Object>	getClass()	Answers the unique instance of java.lang.Class which represents the class of the receiver.
int	hashCode()	Answers an integer hash code for the receiver.
final void	notify()	Causes one thread which is waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	notifyAll()	Causes all threads which are waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
String	toString()	Answers a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver.
final void	wait()	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
final void	wait(long time)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.
final void	wait(long time, int frac)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.

Constructor Details

TerminalFactorySpi

protected TerminalFactorySpi()

Constructs a new TerminalFactorySpi object.

This class is part of the service provider interface and not accessed directly by applications. Applications should use TerminalFactory objects, which can be obtained by calling one of the TerminalFactory.getInstance() methods.

Concrete subclasses should define a constructor that takes an Object as parameter. It will be invoked when an application calls one of the TerminalFactory.getInstance() methods and receives the params object specified by the application.

Method Details

engineTerminals

protected abstract CardTerminals engineTerminals()

Returns the CardTerminals created by this factory.

Returns:

the CardTerminals created by this factory.
