DeploymentFactory (Java(TM) EE 8 Specification APIs)

```
public interface DeploymentFactory
```
The DeploymentFactory interface is a deployment driver for a Java EE plaform product. It returns a DeploymentManager object which represents a connection to a specific Java EE platform product.
Each application server vendor must provide an implementation of this class in order for the Java EE Deployment API to work with their product.
The class implementing this interface should have a public no-argument constructor, and it should be stateless (two instances of the class should always behave the same). It is suggested but not required that the class have a static initializer that registers an instance of the class with the DeploymentFactoryManager class.
A connected or disconnected DeploymentManager can be requested. A DeploymentManager that runs connected to the platform can provide access to Java EE resources. A DeploymentManager that runs disconnected only provides module deployment configuration support.

```
boolean handlesURI(String uri)
```
    Tests whether this factory can create a DeploymentManager object based on the specificed URI. This does not indicate whether such an attempt will be successful, only whether the factory can handle the uri.
    
    Parameters:
    
    uri - The uri to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the factory can handle the uri.
  - getDeploymentManager
```
DeploymentManager getDeploymentManager(String uri,
                                       String username,
                                       String password)
                                throws DeploymentManagerCreationException
```
    Return a connected DeploymentManager instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    uri - The URI that specifies the connection parameters
    
    username - An optional username (may be null if no authentication is required for this platform).
    
    password - An optional password (may be null if no authentication is required for this platform).
    Returns: A ready DeploymentManager instance. Throws: DeploymentManagerCreationException - occurs when a DeploymentManager could not be returned (server down, unable to authenticate, etc).
  getDisconnectedDeploymentManager DeploymentManager getDisconnectedDeploymentManager(String uri) throws DeploymentManagerCreationException Return a disconnected DeploymentManager instance. Parameters: uri - the uri of the DeploymentManager to return. Returns: A DeploymentManager disconnected instance. Throws: DeploymentManagerCreationException - occurs if the DeploymentManager could not be created. getDisplayName String getDisplayName() Provide a string with the name of this vendor's DeploymentManager. Returns: the name of the vendor's DeploymentManager. getProductVersion String getProductVersion() Provide a string identifying version of this vendor's DeploymentManager. Returns: the name of the vendor's DeploymentManager.
