Interface FlowDefinitionRegistrar

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExternalizedFlowDefinitionRegistrar, XmlFlowRegistrar

public interface FlowDefinitionRegistrar

A strategy to use to populate a flow definition registry with one or more flow definitions.

Flow definition registrars encapsulate the knowledge about the source of a set of flow definition resources and the behavior necessary to add those resources to a flow definition registry.

The typical usage pattern is as follows:

1. Create a new (initially empty) flow definition registry.
2. Use any number of flow definition registrars to populate the registry by calling registerFlowDefinitions(FlowDefinitionRegistry).

This design where various registrars populate a generic registry was inspired by Spring's GenericApplicationContext, which can use any number of BeanDefinitionReaders to drive context population.
