29 * Services may optionally provide UIs which allow different styles of
30 * interaction in different roles. One role may be end-user browsing and setting
31 * of print options. Another role may be administering the print service.
32 * <p>
33 * Although the Print Service API does not presently provide standardised
34 * support for administering a print service, monitoring of the print service is
35 * possible and a UI may provide for private update mechanisms.
36 * <p>
37 * The basic design intent is to allow applications to lazily locate and
38 * initialize services only when needed without any API dependencies except in
39 * an environment in which they are used.
40 * <p>
41 * Swing UIs are preferred as they provide a more consistent {@literal L&F} and
42 * can support accessibility APIs.
43 * <p>
44 * Example usage:
45 * <pre>
46 * ServiceUIFactory factory = printService.getServiceUIFactory();
47 * if (factory != null) {
48 * JComponent swingui = (JComponent)factory.getUI(
49 * ServiceUIFactory.MAIN_UIROLE,
50 * ServiceUIFactory.JCOMPONENT_UI);
51 * if (swingui != null) {
52 * tabbedpane.add("Custom UI", swingui);
53 * }
