public interface AppPlugin
The service provider interface (SPI) that must be provided by a webapplication plugin.
A implementation of this SPI publishes
- a unique ID
- a directory that contains the plugins client-side assets (HTML + JavaScript files)
- a number of resource classes that extend the restful API
Plugin developers should not use this interface directly but use AbstractAppPlugin
as a base class.
