ResourceProvider (Restlet Extensions 2.5 Milestone 1 - OSGi Environments)

All Superinterfaces:

RestletProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseResourceProvider
```
public interface ResourceProvider
extends RestletProvider
```
This is an OSGi service interface for registering Restlet resources with an application. Users are expected to register an instance as an OSGi service. It is recommended that you extend the BaseResourceProvider implementation. You may provide your own implementation of ResourceProvider if you need complete control. Resources are registered with an application according to the application alias. If an application is not found that corresponds to the specified alias, the resource will be cached until the application is registered. If your resources are not being registered, check there is not a typo in the alias in both the resource provider and application provider. It is recommended that you use or extend ResourceBuilder
