Interface WorkflowDefinitionBuilderProvider

public interface WorkflowDefinitionBuilderProvider
Provider interface for creating WorkflowDefinitionBuilder instances. This interface allows for pluggable implementations of workflow definition builders and supports both programmatic registration and service loader discovery.

The provider pattern allows for different implementations of workflow builders to be used without changing the client code. Implementations can be registered programmatically or discovered through the Java ServiceLoader mechanism.

    • registerProvider

      static void registerProvider(WorkflowDefinitionBuilderProvider provider)

      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the provider is null

    • provider

      static WorkflowDefinitionBuilderProvider provider()

      Returns:
      the current provider instance
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if no provider is found through either mechanism
