Hello all,
According to this tutorial https://www.logicbig.com/tutorials/core-java-tutorial/modules/service-provider-method.html
we can declare in module-info provider class with "provider" method. For
example,
......
public class TheServiceProvider {
public static AService provider() {
return new AServiceImpl();
}
}
The only thing what I don’t understand is why this method is called "provider". The method doesn’t return
provider, method returns an instance of the service, so, as I understand, the
method must be named
"provide". And, as I understand, provider is usually the class, that has
"provide" method.
The method does return a "provider". It returns the object that is an
instance of a class that provides the service - hence that object is a
provider.
Cheers,
David

experienced java developer
who should know java naming convention and I want to understand why this did
so. Could anyone explain?
