The links is broken because the 1.3 javadoc was moved on java.sun.com. But you can still find it on the 1.4 or 1.5 docs and incidentally is further exposed in 1.6 (see java.util.Service on mustang.dev.java.net)
Anyway the SPI stuff is generic and nothing to do with printing or 2D. Its just a lookup mechanism. Its unrelated to Graphics* classes. -phil. Peter B. West wrote:
This is a follow-up on my questions about GraphicsEnvironment, GraphicsDevice and GraphicsConfiguration. Reading the Printing with Printables section of the Programmer's Guide to the Java 2D API, 1.4 edition, April 24 2001, I find that a Graphics object is passed to the print method of Printable. Into this Graphics, aka Graphics2D, I can render any Java2D primitives and higher structures. Looking for the environmental details of this Graphics2D, I find in the discussion of javax.print.StreamPrintServiceFactory a reference to the Service Provider Interface with a broken link. Hunting about, I find some discussion of SPI in the page on jar files. I can find no other documentation concerning the provision of print services. Is there any? Does it discuss issues like setting up the GraphicsDevice, GraphicsConfiguration and FontRenderContext? Is there an example? Peter -- Peter B.
