All Implemented Interfaces:

ServiceAttributeFactoryInterface

public abstract class AbstractServiceAttributeFactory
implements ServiceAttributeFactoryInterface

Abstract implementation of a factory used to manufacture a service attribute. A service attribute is used in the context of the Discovery service as an optional qualifier used to discover a service.
