BeanArchiveHandler (Weld Environment Common 5.1.1.SP2 API)

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 jakarta.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.
