public interface BindingAwareService

Session-specific instance of the broker functionality.

BindingAwareService is marker interface for infrastructure services provided by the SAL. These services are session-specific, each BindingAwareConsumer and BindingAwareProvider usually has own instance of the service with it's own context.

The consumer's (or provider's) instance of specific service could be obtained by invoking BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext.getSALService(Class) method on session assigned to the consumer.

BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext and BindingAwareProvider may seem similar, but provider provides YANG model-based functionality and BindingAwareProvider exposes the necessary supporting functionality to implement specific functionality of YANG and to reuse it in the development of BindingAwareConsumers and BindingAwareProviders.
