      static final String DRIVER_ID
      Property (named "DRIVER_ID") identifying a driver.

      • It must be independent of the location from where it is obtained.
      • It must be independent of the DriverLocator service that downloaded it.
      • It must be unique.
      • It must be different for different revisions of the same driver.

      This property is mandatory, i.e., every Driver service must be registered with it.
