org.jboss.marshalling
Interface ProviderDescriptor

public interface ProviderDescriptor

A provider descriptor for automatically-discovered marshalling factory types. Since instances of this interface are constructed automatically, implementing classes should have a no-arg constructor.

To add an automatically-discovered marshaller, create a file called "META-INF/services/org.jboss.marshalling.ProviderDescriptor" and populate it with the names of classes that implement this interface.
