All Known Implementing Classes:

EndpointResolverRegistryImpl
```
public interface EndpointResolverRegistry
```
Implementations of this interface are responsible for mediating access to registered EndpointResolvers, which themselves map between abstract and concrete endpoint references, and/or facilitate renewal of 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)`	Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.
`EndpointReferenceType`	`mint(EndpointReferenceType physical)`	Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a gievn physical EPR.
`void`	`register(EndpointResolver resolver)`	Register an endpoint resolver.
`EndpointReferenceType`	`renew(EndpointReferenceType logical, EndpointReferenceType physical)`	Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
`EndpointReferenceType`	`resolve(EndpointReferenceType logical)`	Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.
`void`	`unregister(EndpointResolver resolver)`	Unregister an endpoint resolver.

- Method Detail
  - register
```
void register(EndpointResolver resolver)
```
    Register an endpoint resolver.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resolver - the EndpointResolver to add to the chain.
  - unregister
```
void unregister(EndpointResolver resolver)
```
    Unregister an endpoint resolver.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resolver - the EndpointResolver to remove from the chain.
  - resolve
```
EndpointReferenceType resolve(EndpointReferenceType logical)
```
    Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.
    This API is used by any actor that requires a concrete EPR (e.g. a transport-level Conduit), and must be called each and every time the EPR content is to be accessed (e.g. before each connection establishment attempt).
    
    Parameters:
    
    logical - the abstract EPR to resolve
  - renew
```
EndpointReferenceType renew(EndpointReferenceType logical,
                            EndpointReferenceType physical)
```
    Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
    This API may be used by say the transport-level Conduit when it detects a non-transient error on the outgoing connection, or by any other actor in the dispatch with the ability to infer server-side unavailability.
    
    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)
```
    Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to 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)
```
    Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a gievn physical EPR.
    
    Parameters:
    
    physical -
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
