Interface Adapter

All Superinterfaces:

Provider

public interface Adapter

extends Provider

Virus scan adapter object. This class represents the "Virus Scan Adapter" and its characteristics.

The virus scan adapter is a native shared library (delivered by an external partner) which can be loaded directly into the JAVA process environment (via JNI == java native interface).

This way ensures a high performace scan with an external virus scanner (VSA), because the scan of memory areas are done inplace. The virus scan adapter is also used by the Virus Scan Server and is therefore the only way to the external product.
