Interface FeatureTypeFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComplexFeatureTypeFactoryImpl, FeatureTypeFactoryImpl, UniqueNameFeatureTypeFactoryImpl

public interface FeatureTypeFactory

Factory for types and descriptors.

Implementations of this interface should not contain any "special logic" for creating types. Method implementations should be straight through calls to a constructor.
