20  * Alternative to the Guice {@link com.google.inject.Provider} that throws a checked Exception.
21  * Users may not inject {@code T} directly.
22  *
23  * <p>This interface must be extended to use application-specific exception types. Such
24  * subinterfaces may not define new methods:
25  *
26  * <pre>
27  * public interface RemoteProvider&lt;T&gt; extends ThrowingProvider&lt;T, RemoteException&gt; { }
28  * </pre>
29  *
30  * <p>When this type is bound using {@link ThrowingProviderBinder}, the value returned or exception
31  * thrown by {@link #get} will be scoped. As a consequence, {@link #get} will invoked at most once
32  * within each scope.

36  * @deprecated use {@link CheckedProvider} instead.
