TransporterFactory (Maven Artifact Resolver SPI 1.3.2 API)

```
public interface TransporterFactory
```
A factory to create transporters. A transporter is responsible for uploads/downloads to/from a remote repository using a particular transport protocol. When the repository system needs a transporter for a given remote repository, it iterates the registered factories in descending order of their priority and calls newInstance(RepositorySystemSession, RemoteRepository) on them. The first transporter returned by a factory will then be used for the transfer.

- Method Detail
  - newInstance
```
Transporter newInstance(RepositorySystemSession session,
                        RemoteRepository repository)
                 throws NoTransporterException
```
    Tries to create a transporter for the specified remote repository. Typically, a factory will inspect RemoteRepository.getProtocol() to determine whether it can handle a repository.
    
    Parameters:
    
    session - The repository system session from which to configure the transporter, must not be null. In particular, a transporter should obey the timeouts configured for the session.
    
    repository - The remote repository to create a transporter for, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The transporter for the given repository, never null.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoTransporterException - If the factory cannot create a transporter for the specified remote repository.
  - getPriority
```
float getPriority()
```
    The priority of this factory. When multiple factories can handle a given repository, factories with higher priority are preferred over those with lower priority.
    
    Returns:
    
    The priority of this factory.
