public abstract class ProcessorFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Implementing classes are capable of creating a new processor and attaching it to a model when supplied with the new processor name and a reference to the model. The intention is that service scavengers should create an implementation of this for each service they find and that these should then be used as the user objects inside a default tree model to allow simple service selection and addition to a ScuflModel

Method Detail

createProcessor

public final Processor createProcessor(java.lang.String name,
                                       ScuflModel model)
                                throws ProcessorCreationException,
                                       DuplicateProcessorNameException

Instantiate a new processor with the supplied name and bind it to the specified model. This in turn uses the XML handling code defined by the XMLHandler and the fragment generated by the getXMLFragment() method.

Throws:

ProcessorCreationException

DuplicateProcessorNameException

getProcessorDescription

public abstract java.lang.String getProcessorDescription()

Describe the processor that would be created by this factory were the createProcessor method invoked

getProcessorClass

public abstract java.lang.Class getProcessorClass()

Return the Class object describing the processor this factory would build

getXMLFragment

public final org.jdom.Element getXMLFragment()

Return the XML 'spec' element that this factory will use to build its processor instances

getName

public final java.lang.String getName()

Get a name for this factory

setName

public final void setName(java.lang.String newName)

Set the name

setDescription

public final void setDescription(java.lang.String newDescription)

Set the description

getDescription

public final java.lang.String getDescription()

Get a description for the factory

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
