org.apache.abdera.util.AbstractExtensionFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

MediaExtensionFactory

public abstract class AbstractExtensionFactory
extends Object
implements ExtensionFactory

Provides a base implementation for ExtensionFactory instances. By extending this, specific extension factories need only to associate a QName with an implementation class, e.g.,

  public class MyExtensionFactory
    extends AbstractExtensionFactory {
 
    private String NS = "http://example.org/foo/ns"; 
    private QName FOO = new QName(NS, "foo");
 
    public MyExtensionFactory() {
      super(NS);
      addImpl(FOO, Foo.class);
    }
  }
  
  public class Foo extends ElementWrapper { ... }

Method Detail

getElementWrapper

public <T extends Element> T getElementWrapper(Element internal)

Description copied from interface: ExtensionFactory

Specified by:

getElementWrapper in interface ExtensionFactory

Parameters:

internal - The Abdera element that needs to be wrapped

Returns:

The wrapper element

getMimeType

public <T extends Base> String getMimeType(T base)

Description copied from interface: ExtensionFactory

Retrieve the mime type for the element

Specified by:

getMimeType in interface ExtensionFactory

Parameters:

base - An Abdera object

Returns:

A MIME media type for the object

getNamespaces

public String[] getNamespaces()

Description copied from interface: ExtensionFactory

Returns the Namespace URIs handled by this Extension Factory

Specified by:

getNamespaces in interface ExtensionFactory

Returns:

A List of Namespace URIs Supported by this Extension

handlesNamespace

public boolean handlesNamespace(String namespace)

Description copied from interface: ExtensionFactory

Returns true if this extension factory handles the specified namespace

Specified by:

handlesNamespace in interface ExtensionFactory

Parameters:

namespace - The XML namespace of the extension

Returns:

True if the namespace is supported by the ExtensionFactory
