This package defines a central registry for all DVB Service Provider Interface
(SPI) providers. This encourages a consistent architecture for such providers.
Additionally, it gives some support for debugging. For example, a list of
installed providers might be useful in a crash log.
In normal operation, xlets using a provider never get a direct reference
to that provider. Rather, xlets interact with the terminal through
standardized APIs, such as Java TV. The service underlying those
underlying APIs can be:
- An integrated part of the implementation, or
- interoperable downloaded code, either in the form of an
xlet-bound or a system-bound provider.
NOTE: The Java platform class java.security.Provider is
unrelated to the providers defined in this package and its subpackages.
Additionally, java.security.Provider in the Java platform
is typically associated with a completely different lifecycle model.
