SQLUtils.java:
import org.openide.util.Lookup;
import java.util.ServiceLoader; // This doesn't work either
public class SQLUtils {
public static DBDriver getDriver(String prefix) {
for(DBDriver e : Lookup.getDefault().lookupAll(DBDriver.class)) {
System.out.println(e.getPrefix());
if(e.getPrefix().equalsIgnoreCase(prefix)) {
return e;
}
}
return null;
}
}
MySQLDriver.java:
public class MySQLDriver implements DBDriver {
@Override
public String getPrefix() {
return "mysql";
}
}
DBDriver.java:
import java.io.Serializable;
public interface DBDriver extends Serializable {
public String getPrefix();
}
Main.java:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DBDriver d = SQLUtils.getDriver("mysql");
}
}
This does nothing when running it, it cannot find any classes implementing. What the program is trying to do is get the driver that is entered as a parameter for SQLUtils.getDriver(String prefix) (in Main.java). For some reason I cannot get this to work.
I dropped the NetBeans API and switched to Reflections. I implemented Maven and ran it with IntelliJ. Works well for me.
