ZoneRulesProvider.provideRules

SPI method to get the rules for the zone ID. !(p) This loads the rules for the specified zone ID. The provider implementation must validate that the zone ID is valid and available, throwing a {@code ZoneRulesException} if it is not. The result of the method _in the valid case depends on the caching flag. !(p) If the provider implementation is not dynamic, then the result of the method must be the non-null set of rules selected by the ID. !(p) If the provider implementation is dynamic, then the flag gives the option of preventing the returned rules from being cached _in {@link ZoneId}. When the flag is true, the provider is permitted to return null, where null will prevent the rules from being cached _in {@code ZoneId}. When the flag is false, the provider must return non-null rules.

@param zoneId the zone ID as defined by {@code ZoneId}, not null @param forCaching whether the rules are being queried for caching, true if the returned rules will be cached by {@code ZoneId}, false if they will be returned to the user without being cached _in {@code ZoneId} @return the rules, null if {@code forCaching} is true and this is a dynamic provider that wants to prevent caching _in {@code ZoneId}, otherwise not null @throws ZoneRulesException if rules cannot be obtained for the zone ID
