Drivers

JRIO has a dynamic driver concept that separates both the file system implementations and the implementations of the various access methods from the JRIO user interfaces. New file system drivers or access method drivers can be added without user interfaces needing to be modified.

When an application is started, it is determined dynamically which drivers are available for file systems and access methods. These are then loaded dynamically as required. However, the associated interfaces (in particular the driver API) and the configuration mechanisms are currently not to be made accessible to users and are consequently not described here.
