## Interface ResourceSpecifierList

- All Superinterfaces:
    Cloneable, MetaDataObject, ResourceSpecifier, Serializable, XMLizable

      public interface ResourceSpecifierList
      extends ResourceSpecifier

  A type of `ResourceSpecifier` that is an aggregate of other `ResourceSpecifier`s. When attempting to produce a resource using a `ResourceSpecifierList`, the `ResourceFactory` will try each constituent `ResourceSpecifier`, in order. The first `Resource` that is successfully produced will be returned to the caller.

  `ResourceSpecifierList` allows applications to attempt to locate a resource and then, if that fails, to construct a new instance of the resource.
