Interface ResourceLoader

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractResourceLoader

public interface ResourceLoader

Generic interface for loading resources. Each form of the loadResource() method accepts a ResourceRecipient which is a callback implemented by classe which will use the resource's data. When the resource is loaded the ResourceRecipient's load() method is called. This allows resources to be monitored and reloaded on a scheduled basis without having to call the ResourceLoader every time. See the FileResourceLoader implementation for an example.
