  - defaultProviderName
```
java.lang.String defaultProviderName
```
    Sets the class name of the class that provides the default implementation of this service.
    Use this form instead of defaultProvider = Someclass.class if you want to prevent any form of reference between the service class and the implementation class.
    For example, defaultProviderName = "packageX.subPackageY.SomeClass"
    Using defaultProviderName = packageX.subPackageY.SomeClass.class.getName() will not work (value needs to be a constant expression).
    
    Returns:
    
    full package and classname string of the plugin class that provides this service.
    
    Default:
    
    ""
