ProviderFactory (Keycloak Server SPI 17.0.1 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

ComponentFactory<CreatedType,ProviderType>, HostnameProviderFactory, LocaleSelectorProviderFactory, LocaleUpdaterProviderFactory, SubComponentFactory<CreatedType,ProviderType>, ThemeResourceProviderFactory, ThemeSelectorProviderFactory, UserFederatedStorageProviderFactory, UserStorageProviderFactory<T>, VaultProviderFactory
```
public interface ProviderFactory<T extends Provider>
```
At boot time, keycloak discovers all factories. For each discovered factory, the init() method is called. After all factories have been initialized, the postInit() method is called. close() is called when the server shuts down. Only one instance of a factory exists per server.
