How does EDC decide which interface implementation to load?

[mark-olchanski]

Hey,

if we are implementing 2 modules in our build.gradle files that both have an implementation of the same interface, which of those will be loaded in an extension by calling context.getService(theInterface)?

We are confused by this since it seems (sometimes) to depend in the order in which they get implemented in the build.gradle file. Is there a way to force the connector to choose one over the other?

Regards,
Mark

The EDC relies on the Java service loader. The correct way to handle this if you only want one implementation loaded is to ensure only it is on the classpath.
