Method Details

getPropertiesCollectorSPI

public static Set<PropertiesCollectorSPI> getPropertiesCollectorSPI()

Finds all avalaible implementations of GridFormatFactorySpi which have registered using the services mechanism, and that have the appropriate libraries on the classpath.

Returns:

An unmodifiable Set of all discovered datastores which have registered factories, and whose available method returns true.

scanForPlugins

public static void scanForPlugins()

Scans for factory plug-ins on the application class path. This method is needed because the application class path can theoretically change, or additional plug-ins may become available. Rather than re-scanning the classpath on every invocation of the API, the class path is scanned automatically only on the first invocation. Clients can call this method to prompt a re-scan. Thus this method need only be invoked by sophisticated applications which dynamically make new plug-ins available at runtime.
