SecretBackendMetadataFactory (Spring Cloud Vault Configuration Integration 3.1.4 API)

Type Parameters:

T - descriptor type.
```
public interface SecretBackendMetadataFactory<T extends VaultSecretBackendDescriptor>
```
Strategy interface to create SecretBackendMetadata from VaultSecretBackendDescriptor properties. Mainly for internal use within the framework.
Classes implementing this interface must implement supports(VaultSecretBackendDescriptor) to determine whether a particular VaultSecretBackendDescriptor is supported by this implementation. If a VaultSecretBackendDescriptor instance is supported by the implementation, it must be able to create SecretBackendMetadata, see createMetadata(VaultSecretBackendDescriptor).
Typically implemented by secret backend providers that implement access to a particular backend using read operations. Objects implementing this interface can be discovered either from the ApplicationContext when using BootstrapConfiguration (deprecated since 3.0) or spring.factories when using ConfigDataLocationResolver.
