Class FactoryCreator

Object

FactoryRegistry

FactoryCreator

public class FactoryCreator
extends FactoryRegistry

A factory registry capable to creates factories if no appropriate instance was found in the registry.

This class maintains a cache of previously created factories, as weak references. Calls to getServiceProvider first check if a previously created factory can fit.

Since:

2.1

Method Detail

getServiceProvider

@Deprecated
public <T> T getServiceProvider(Class<T> category,
                                            ServiceRegistry.Filter filter,
                                            Hints hints,
                                            Hints.Key key)
                                     throws FactoryRegistryException

Deprecated. Replaced with FactoryRegistry.getFactories(Class, Predicate, boolean)

Overrides:

getServiceProvider in class FactoryRegistry

Throws:

FactoryRegistryException

getFactory

public <T> T getFactory(Class<T> category,
                        Predicate<? super T> filter,
                        Hints hints,
                        Hints.Key key)
                 throws FactoryRegistryException

Factory for the specified category, using the specified map of hints (if any). If a provider matching the requirements is found in the registry, it is returned. Otherwise, a new provider is created and returned. This creation step is the only difference between this method and the super-class method.

Overrides:

getFactory in class FactoryRegistry

Type Parameters:

T - The class represented by the category argument.

Parameters:

category - The category to look for.

filter - Optional predicate, or null if none.

hints - A map of hints, or null if none.

key - The key to use for looking for a user-provided instance in the hints, or null if none.

Returns:

A factory for the specified category and hints (never null).

Throws:

FactoryNotFoundException - if no factory was found, and the specified hints don't provide suffisient information for creating a new factory.

FactoryRegistryException - if the factory can't be created for some other reason.

                                                  Hints hints)
                                           throws FactoryRegistryException

Deprecated. Replaced with createFactory(Class, Class, Hints)

Throws:

FactoryRegistryException

createFactory

protected <T> T createFactory(Class<T> category,
                              Class<?> implementation,
                              Hints hints)
                       throws FactoryRegistryException

Creates a new instance of the specified factory using the specified hints. The default implementation tries to instantiate the given implementation class using the first of the following constructor found:

• Constructor with a single Hints argument.
• No-argument constructor.

Parameters:

category - The category to instantiate.

implementation - The factory class to instantiate.

hints - The implementation hints.

Returns:

The factory.

Throws:

FactoryRegistryException - if the factory creation failed.
