Class WrapperServiceSelector

java.lang.Object
org.apache.avalon.framework.service.WrapperServiceSelector
All Implemented Interfaces:
ServiceSelector

public class WrapperServiceSelector extends Object implements ServiceSelector
This is a ServiceSelector implementation that can wrap around a legacy ComponentSelector object effectively adapting a ComponentSelector interface to a ServiceSelector interface.

This class implements the Component interface because it is used in environments which expect all components to implement Component.
