Interface BeanArchiveHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileSystemBeanArchiveHandler, JandexFileSystemBeanArchiveHandler, JandexIndexBeanArchiveHandler

public interface BeanArchiveHandler

Handles the reference to a bean archive.

The standard way to register a handler is via DiscoveryStrategy.registerHandler(BeanArchiveHandler). Alternatively, handlers may be registered using the ServiceLoader mechanism.

Additionaly, handlers could specify their priority using javax.annotation.Priority. Handlers with higher priority have precedence. The default priority is 0. Handlers registered programatically have the default priority registeredHandlers.size - index, i.e. derived from the order they were inserted.
