Interface ZoneProvider

All Superinterfaces:

ZoneModelProvider, ZoneNameProvider

Deprecated.

Use the super interfaces instead

@Deprecated
public interface ZoneProvider
extends ZoneModelProvider, ZoneNameProvider

SPI interface which encapsulates the timezone transitions and names.

Implementations are usually stateless and should normally not try to manage a cache. Instead Time4J uses its own cache. The fact that this interface is used per java.util.ServiceLoader requires a concrete implementation to offer a public no-arg constructor.
