Interface DriverConnectionStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractCsvConnectionStrategy, JPPFCsvFileConnectionStrategy, JPPFCsvPropertyConnectionStrategy, JPPFDefaultConnectionStrategy
public interface DriverConnectionStrategy
This interface defines which parameters should be used to connect to the driver.

It gives the ability to create new sets of parameters whenever a connection attempt was unsuccessful, therefore providing the nodes with a failover strategy when the connection to a driver cannot be established.
