/**
 * Factory class used to create client- and server-side transport instances. One
 * static instance of class implementing this interface is created when program
 * loaded. Default implementation used is {@link OtpSocketTransportFactory}.
 * JInterface user can specify custom transport factory implementing this
 * interface in the following ways:
 * <dl>
 * <dt>defining static class as internal to class holding main() method</dt>
 * <dd>In the systems, where main class can be retrieved with
 * <code>System.getProperty("sun.java.command")</code>, user can define static
 * class <b>OtpErlangSystemTuner</b> internal to the main class, providing at
 * least one static method with the name <b>getOtpTransportFactory</b>, with no
 * parameters, returning object of class implementing
 * <b>OtpTransportFactory</b>, for example:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * 
 * public class MyMainClass {
 * 
 *     public static class OtpErlangSystemTuner {
 *         ...
 *         public static OtpTransportFactory getOtpTransportFactory() {
 *             return new MyTransportFactory();
 *         }
 *     }
 * 
 *     public static class MyTransportFactory implements OtpTransportFactory {
 *         ...
 *     }
 * 
 *     public static void main(String[] args) {
 *         ...
 *     }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * </pre>
 * 
 * </dd>
 * 
 * <dt>specifying factory class in the system properties</dt>
 * <dd>User-defined transport factory class may be specified via system property
 * <b>OtpTransportFactory</b>, for example:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * 
 * package com.my.company;
 * 
 * public static class MyTransportFactory implements OtpTransportFactory {
 *     ...
 * }
 * </pre>
 * 
 * In such case program may be run with
 * -DOtpTransportFactory=com.my.company.MyTransportFactory, or other way of
 * setting system property <i>before execution of static initializers</i> may be
 * used.</dd>
