Interface EffFormatRetrievalStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:
PreferenceBasedRetrieval
@Deprecated public interface EffFormatRetrievalStrategy
Deprecated.
use EffDelegate instead The implementaion for the same is made available through delegate.
This interface is designed to encapsulate the various means (algorithms) for the retrieval of effectivity format given some state information, representing a Strategy design pattern.

The various algorithms can differ on how they retrieve the format, for example, by looking at some external resource, or a preference or an attribute on a business object. All that is needed an implementation of this interface and a means to inject this implementation for use by the EffFormatService. See the Customizer's guide on how this wiring can be provided.
