Interface IServiceManager

public interface IServiceManager

A service manager allows a POJO to be exposed as various types of services by constructing a simple ServiceConfig and calling #registerService(ServiceConfig). An implementation of IServiceManager acts as a depot of service objects in the Pentaho BI platform.

For information on providing services via platform plugins, see the wiki link below.
