public abstract class ServiceType extends AbstractEntry implements ServiceControlled
Human-oriented information about the "type" of a service. This is not related to its data or class types, and is more oriented towards allowing someone to determine what a service (for example, a printer) does and that it is similar to another, without needing to know anything about data or class types for the Java(TM) platform.
