Interface WebModuleProvider

public interface WebModuleProvider

Provider interface for web modules.

The org.netbeans.api.web.webmodule module registers an implementation of this interface to global lookup which looks for the project which owns a file (if any) and checks its lookup for this interface, and if it finds an instance, delegates to it. Therefore it is not normally necessary for a project type provider to register its own instance just to define the web module for files it owns, assuming it uses projects for implementation of the web module.

If needed a new implementation of this interface can be registered in global lookup.
