public final class ServiceRegistryFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Static factory to create and manage ServiceRegistry instances. The factory uses the following mechanism to find the name of the ServiceRegistry implementation:

• Use the system property toolbox.services.ServiceRegistry
• Use the properties file "toolbox_services.properties" file. The properties file must be available on the classpath and contain a single property named toolbox.services.ServiceRegistry.
• Uses the default implementation: toolbox.services.ServiceRegistryImpl.

The factory requires a properties file containing the names and configuration locations of all the registries supported. The location of the properties file is specified using the system property toolbox.services.ServiceRegistryFactory.config. The properties file must be in the format "<name>=<path>".
