/**
* A simple service-provider loading facility.
*
* <p> A <i>service</i> is a well-known set of interfaces and (usually
* abstract) classes. A <i>service provider</i> is a specific implementation
* of a service. The classes in a provider typically implement the interfaces
* and subclass the classes defined in the service itself. Service providers
* can be installed in an implementation of the Java platform in the form of
* extensions, that is, jar files placed into any of the usual extension
* directories. Providers can also be made available by adding them to the
* application's class path or by some other platform-specific means.
*
* <p> For the purpose of loading, a service is represented by a single type,
* that is, a single interface or abstract class. (A concrete class can be
* used, but this is not recommended.) A provider of a given service contains
* one or more concrete classes that extend this <i>service type</i> with data
* and code specific to the provider. The <i>provider class</i> is typically
* not the entire provider itself but rather a proxy which contains enough
* information to decide whether the provider is able to satisfy a particular
* request together with code that can create the actual provider on demand.
* The details of provider classes tend to be highly service-specific; no
* single class or interface could possibly unify them, so no such type is
* defined here. The only requirement enforced by this facility is that
* provider classes must have a zero-argument constructor so that they can be
* instantiated during loading.
*
* <p><a name="format"> A service provider is identified by placing a
* <i>provider-configuration file</i> in the resource directory
* <tt>META-INF/services</tt>. The file's name is the fully-qualified <a
* href="../lang/ClassLoader.html#name">binary name</a> of the service's type.
* The file contains a list of fully-qualified binary names of concrete
* provider classes, one per line. Space and tab characters surrounding each
* name, as well as blank lines, are ignored. The comment character is
* <tt>'#'</tt> (<tt>'\u0023'</tt>, <font size="-1">NUMBER SIGN</font>); on
* each line all characters following the first comment character are ignored.
* The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
*
* <p> If a particular concrete provider class is named in more than one
* configuration file, or is named in the same configuration file more than
* once, then the duplicates are ignored. The configuration file naming a
* particular provider need not be in the same jar file or other distribution
* unit as the provider itself. The provider must be accessible from the same
* class loader that was initially queried to locate the configuration file;
* note that this is not necessarily the class loader from which the file was
* actually loaded.
*
* <p> Providers are located and instantiated lazily, that is, on demand. A
* service loader maintains a cache of the providers that have been loaded so
* far. Each invocation of the {@link #iterator iterator} method returns an
* iterator that first yields all of the elements of the cache, in
* instantiation order, and then lazily locates and instantiates any remaining
* providers, adding each one to the cache in turn. The cache can be cleared
* via the {@link #reload reload} method.
*
* <p> Service loaders always execute in the security context of the caller.
* Trusted system code should typically invoke the methods in this class, and
* the methods of the iterators which they return, from within a privileged
* security context.
*
* <p> Instances of this class are not safe for use by multiple concurrent
* threads.
*
* <p> Unless otherwise specified, passing a <tt>null</tt> argument to any
* method in this class will cause a {@link NullPointerException} to be thrown.
*
*
* <p><span style="font-weight: bold; padding-right: 1em">Example</span>
* Suppose we have a service type <tt>com.example.CodecSet</tt> which is
* intended to represent sets of encoder/decoder pairs for some protocol. In
* this case it is an abstract class with two abstract methods:
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* public abstract Encoder getEncoder(String encodingName);
* public abstract Decoder getDecoder(String encodingName);</pre></blockquote>
*
* Each method returns an appropriate object or <tt>null</tt> if the provider
* does not support the given encoding. Typical providers support more than
* one encoding.
*
* <p> If <tt>com.example.impl.StandardCodecs</tt> is an implementation of the
* <tt>CodecSet</tt> service then its jar file also contains a file named
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* META-INF/services/com.example.CodecSet</pre></blockquote>
*
* <p> This file contains the single line:
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* com.example.impl.StandardCodecs # Standard codecs</pre></blockquote>
*
* <p> The <tt>CodecSet</tt> class creates and saves a single service instance
* at initialization:
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* private static ServiceLoader<CodecSet> codecSetLoader
* = ServiceLoader.load(CodecSet.class);</pre></blockquote>
*
* <p> To locate an encoder for a given encoding name it defines a static
* factory method which iterates through the known and available providers,
* returning only when it has located a suitable encoder or has run out of
* providers.
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* public static Encoder getEncoder(String encodingName) {
* for (CodecSet cp : codecSetLoader) {
* Encoder enc = cp.getEncoder(encodingName);
* if (enc != null)
* return enc;
* }
* return null;
* }</pre></blockquote>
*
* <p> A <tt>getDecoder</tt> method is defined similarly.
*
*
* <p><span style="font-weight: bold; padding-right: 1em">Usage Note</span> If
* the class path of a class loader that is used for provider loading includes
* remote network URLs then those URLs will be dereferenced in the process of
* searching for provider-configuration files.
*
* <p> This activity is normal, although it may cause puzzling entries to be
* created in web-server logs. If a web server is not configured correctly,
* however, then this activity may cause the provider-loading algorithm to fail
* spuriously.
*
* <p> A web server should return an HTTP 404 (Not Found) response when a
* requested resource does not exist. Sometimes, however, web servers are
* erroneously configured to return an HTTP 200 (OK) response along with a
* helpful HTML error page in such cases. This will cause a {@link
* ServiceConfigurationError} to be thrown when this class attempts to parse
* the HTML page as a provider-configuration file. The best solution to this
* problem is to fix the misconfigured web server to return the correct
* response code (HTTP 404) along with the HTML error page.
*

* The type of the service to be loaded by this loader

* Lazily loads the available providers of this loader's service.

* <p> The iterator returned by this method first yields all of the

* loads and instantiates any remaining providers, adding each one to the
* cache in turn.
*
* <p> To achieve laziness the actual work of parsing the available
* provider-configuration files and instantiating providers must be done by
* the iterator itself. Its {@link java.util.Iterator#hasNext hasNext} and
* {@link java.util.Iterator#next next} methods can therefore throw a
* {@link ServiceConfigurationError} if a provider-configuration file
* violates the specified format, or if it names a provider class that
* cannot be found and instantiated, or if the result of instantiating the
* class is not assignable to the service type, or if any other kind of
* exception or error is thrown as the next provider is located and
* instantiated. To write robust code it is only necessary to catch {@link
* ServiceConfigurationError} when using a service iterator.
*
* <p> If such an error is thrown then subsequent invocations of the
* iterator will make a best effort to locate and instantiate the next
* available provider, but in general such recovery cannot be guaranteed.

* Throwing an error in these cases may seem extreme. The rationale for
* this behavior is that a malformed provider-configuration file, like a
* malformed class file, indicates a serious problem with the way the Java
* virtual machine is configured or is being used. As such it is
* preferable to throw an error rather than try to recover or, even worse,
* fail silently.</blockquote>
