public interface HandlerService<DT,PT extends HandlerPlugin<DT>>
extends SingletonService<PT>, TypedService<DT,PT>

A service for managing HandlerPlugins of a particular type.

For any given data object, the service is capable of determining the most appropriate handler by sequentially querying each handler plugin on its list (via Typed.supports(T)).
