Interface DocumentWorkerFactory

public interface DocumentWorkerFactory

When a Document Worker is initialised it will first look for an implementation of this interface (using the standard Java service loader). If one is available then the factory method that it provides will be used to construct the DocumentWorker implementation.

The advantage of implementing this interface to construct the DocumentWorker implementation over simply registering the DocumentWorker as a service provider is that the Application object is passed to the factory method, potentially allowing more advanced initialisation choices to be made.
