<div class="block">Factory for creating <a href="DiscoveredEndpointDescription.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>DiscoveredEndpointDescription</code></a>s. A discovered
endpoint description factory is used by a <a href="EndpointDescriptionLocator.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>EndpointDescriptionLocator</code></a>
to convert a service info (discovered by the locator) into a discovered
endpoint description (instance of DiscoveredEndpointDescription). This
discovered endpoint description is then used by the
<a href="EndpointDescriptionLocator.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>EndpointDescriptionLocator</code></a> to notify endpoint description listeners
as per section 122.6 of the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/download/r4v42/r4.enterprise.pdf">OSGi Enterprise
Specification</a> OSGi enterprise specification.
<p>
If no other instances of this service have been registered, a default
instance of <a href="DiscoveredEndpointDescriptionFactory.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>DiscoveredEndpointDescriptionFactory</code></a> will be used by the
<a href="EndpointDescriptionLocator.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>EndpointDescriptionLocator</code></a>. Note that this default instance is
registered with the lowest possible priority, so that if other
<a href="IDiscoveredEndpointDescriptionFactory.html" title="interface in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>IDiscoveredEndpointDescriptionFactory</code></a> instances are registered, they
will be preferred/used over the default. This means that those wishing to
customize/control this process of converting <a href="../../../discovery/IServiceInfo.html" title="interface in org.eclipse.ecf.discovery"><code>IServiceInfo</code></a>s to
<a href="DiscoveredEndpointDescription.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>DiscoveredEndpointDescription</code></a> must
create their own implementation of
<a href="IDiscoveredEndpointDescriptionFactory.html" title="interface in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>IDiscoveredEndpointDescriptionFactory</code></a>
and register it with the OSGi service registry with a priority
({org.osgi.framework.Constants#SERVICE_RANKING}) higher than
<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Integer.html?is-external=true#MIN_VALUE" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>Integer.MIN_VALUE</code></a>
<p>
Then at runtime, when needed by the <a href="EndpointDescriptionLocator.html" title="class in org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin"><code>EndpointDescriptionLocator</code></a>, the
new discovered endpoint description factory will be used.</div>
