EndpointResolver (Apache CXF Core 3.6.5 API)

```
public interface EndpointResolver
```
Implementations of this interface are responsible for mapping between abstract and concrete endpoint references, and/or renewing stale references.
An underlying mechanism in the style of the OGSA WS-Naming specification is assumed, where an EPR maybe be fully abstract, or concrete but with sufficient information embedded to enable its renewal if necessary.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`EndpointReferenceType`	`mint(QName serviceName)`	Mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.
`EndpointReferenceType`	`mint(EndpointReferenceType physical)`	Mint a new abstract EPR for a given concrete EPR
`EndpointReferenceType`	`renew(EndpointReferenceType logical, EndpointReferenceType physical)`	Force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
`EndpointReferenceType`	`resolve(EndpointReferenceType logical)`	Retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.

- Method Detail
  - resolve
```
EndpointReferenceType resolve(EndpointReferenceType logical)
```
    Retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.
    
    Parameters:
    
    logical - the abstract EPR to resolve
    
    Returns:
    
    the resolved concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
  - renew
```
EndpointReferenceType renew(EndpointReferenceType logical,
                            EndpointReferenceType physical)
```
    Force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
    
    Parameters:
    
    logical - the previously resolved abstract EPR
    
    physical - the concrete EPR to refresh
    
    Returns:
    
    the renewed concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
  - mint
```
EndpointReferenceType mint(QName serviceName)
```
    Mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serviceName -
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
  - mint
```
EndpointReferenceType mint(EndpointReferenceType physical)
```
    Mint a new abstract EPR for a given concrete EPR
    
    Parameters:
    
    physical -
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
