Creates a factory with a list of possible tuples for creation.

Parameters:

objectClass - The class of created objects.

meta - The meta parameters associated to this factory.

creationFormalArgs - A list of tuples of formal arguments that can be used for creation.

protected AbstractFactory(Class<T> objectClass,
                          Args meta)

Creates a factory that does not accept any argument for creation.

Parameters:

meta - The meta parameters associated to this factory.

AbstractFactory

protected AbstractFactory(Class<T> objectClass)

Creates a factory that does not accept any argument for creation.

Parameters:

objectClass - The class of created objects.

Method Detail

getObjectClass

public final Class<T> getObjectClass()

Specified by:

getObjectClass in interface Factory<T>

Returns:

The class of built objects.

getMeta

public final Args getMeta()

Specified by:

getMeta in interface Factory<T>

Returns:

The meta data associated to this factory.

getCreationFormalArgsList

public final List<FormalArgs> getCreationFormalArgsList()

Description copied from interface: Factory

Returns a list of supported creation arguments.

This list must not be empty.
If creation does not need any arguments, a list containing FormalArgs.NO_FARGS should be returned.

Specified by:

getCreationFormalArgsList in interface Factory<T>

Returns:

A list of supported creation arguments.

create

protected abstract T create(Args args,
                            FormalArgs fargs)

Creates an object.

This is the creation method that must be implemented.

Parameters:

args - The effective arguments.

fargs - The formal arguments that match the effective ones.

Returns:

The create object.

create

public final T create(Args args)

Description copied from interface: Factory

Creates a T instance.

Specified by:

create in interface Factory<T>

Parameters:

args - The creation arguments.

Returns:

A new T instance.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
