      • DRIVER_ID

        static final java.lang.String DRIVER_ID
        Property (named "DRIVER_ID") identifying a driver.

        A DRIVER_ID should start with the reversed domain name of the company that implemented the driver (e.g., com.acme), and must meet the following requirements:

        • It must be independent of the location from where it is obtained.
        • It must be independent of the DriverLocator service that downloaded it.
        • It must be unique.
        • It must be different for different revisions of the same driver.

        This property is mandatory, i.e., every Driver service must be registered with it.
