Class FactoryCreateRule


  • public class FactoryCreateRule
    extends Rule

    Rule implementation that uses an ObjectCreationFactory to create a new object which it pushes onto the object stack. When the element is complete, the object will be popped.

    This rule is intended in situations where the element's attributes are needed before the object can be created. A common senario is for the ObjectCreationFactory implementation to use the attributes as parameters in a call to either a factory method or to a non-empty constructor.

    • Field Detail

      • attributeName

        protected String attributeName
        The attribute containing an override class name if it is present.
      • className

        protected String className
        The Java class name of the ObjectCreationFactory to be created. This class must have a no-arguments constructor.
      • creationFactory

        protected ObjectCreationFactory creationFactory
        The object creation factory we will use to instantiate objects as required based on the attributes specified in the matched XML element.

      • FactoryCreateRule

        public FactoryCreateRule​(String className)

        Construct a factory create rule that will use the specified class name to create an ObjectCreationFactory which will then be used to create an object and push it on the stack.

        Exceptions thrown during the object creation process will be propagated.

        Parameters:
        className - Java class name of the object creation factory class
      • FactoryCreateRule

        public FactoryCreateRule​(Class<?> clazz)

        Construct a factory create rule that will use the specified class to create an ObjectCreationFactory which will then be used to create an object and push it on the stack.

        Exceptions thrown during the object creation process will be propagated.

        Parameters:
        clazz - Java class name of the object creation factory class

        Parameters:
        className - Default Java class name of the factory class
        attributeName - Attribute name which, if present, contains an override of the class name of the object creation factory to create.
