Method Detail

getDefinitionsFactoryKey

protected abstract Object getDefinitionsFactoryKey(String name,
                                                   ServletRequest request,
                                                   ServletContext servletContext)

Extract key that will be used to get the sub factory.

Parameters:

name - Name of requested definition.

request - Current servlet request.

servletContext - Current servlet context.

Returns:

Object.

getDefaultFactory

protected abstract DefinitionsFactory getDefaultFactory()

Get default factory.

Returns:

Default factory.

getFactory

protected DefinitionsFactory getFactory(Object key,
                                        ServletRequest request,
                                        ServletContext servletContext)
                                 throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Get a factory by its key. If key is null, return defaultFactory. Search in loaded factories. If not found, create factory and store return value in loaded factories.

Parameters:

key - Key of requested definition.

request - Current servlet request.

servletContext - Current servlet context.

Throws:

DefinitionsFactoryException - If an error occur while creating factory.

getDefinition

public ComponentDefinition getDefinition(String name,
                                         ServletRequest request,
                                         ServletContext servletContext)
                                  throws NoSuchDefinitionException,
                                         DefinitionsFactoryException

Get a definition by its name.

Specified by:

getDefinition in interface ComponentDefinitionsFactory

Parameters:

name - Name of requested definition.

request - Current servlet request.

servletContext - Current servlet context.

Throws:

NoSuchDefinitionException - No definition found for specified name

DefinitionsFactoryException - General exception

createFactory

protected abstract DefinitionsFactory createFactory(Object key,
                                                    ServletRequest request,
                                                    ServletContext servletContext)
                                             throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Create a factory for specified key. This method is called by getFactory() when the requested factory doesn't already exist. Must return a factory, or a default one. Real implementation needs to provide this method.

Parameters:

key - Key of requested definition.

request - Current servlet request.

servletContext - Current servlet context

Throws:

DefinitionsFactoryException - If an error occur while creating factory.

initFactory

public abstract void initFactory(ServletContext servletContext,
                                 Map properties)
                          throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Init factory set.

Specified by:

initFactory in interface ComponentDefinitionsFactory

Parameters:

servletContext - Current servlet context

properties - properties used to initialized factory set;

Throws:

DefinitionsFactoryException - An error occur during initialization.

toString

public String toString()

Return String representation.

Overrides:

toString in class Object
