    • DRIVER_ID

      static final String DRIVER_ID
      Property (named "DRIVER_ID") identifying a driver.

      A DRIVER_ID should start with the reversed domain name of the company that implemented the driver (e.g., com.acme), and must meet the following requirements:

      • It must be independent of the location from where it is obtained.
      • It must be independent of the DriverLocator service that downloaded it.
      • It must be unique.
      • It must be different for different revisions of the same driver.

      This property is mandatory, i.e., every Driver service must be registered with it.
