public interface CompositeResourceFactory extends ResourceFactory
A type of ResourceFactory that produces resources by delegating to other Resource Factories.

Resource Factories are registered with the composite factory by calling the registerFactory(Class,ResourceFactory) method. The type of ResourceSpecifier that the factory can handle is passed to this method. In the event that more than one ResourceFactory is registered for the same Resource Specifier class, the most recently registered factory will be tried first.
