Interface ConnectionFactory


public interface ConnectionFactory

A Connection Factory service is called by the implementation of the Connector Service to create javax.microedition.io.Connection objects which implement the scheme named by IO_SCHEME. When a ConnectorService.open method is called, the implementation of the Connector Service will examine the specified name for a scheme. The Connector Service will then look for a Connection Factory service which is registered with the service property IO_SCHEME which matches the scheme. The createConnection(java.lang.String, int, boolean) method of the selected Connection Factory will then be called to create the actual Connection object.

Method Summary
 javax.microedition.io.Connection createConnection(java.lang.String name, int mode, boolean timeouts)
