  • Method Details

    • getObjectClass

      public final Class<T> getObjectClass()
      Specified by:
      getObjectClass in interface Factory<T>

    • getCreationFormalArgsList

      public final List<FormalArgs> getCreationFormalArgsList()
      Description copied from interface: Factory
      Returns a list of supported creation arguments.

      This list must not be empty.

      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:

    • 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:
