Class BuilderFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hivemind.service.impl.BuilderFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ServiceImplementationFactory

public class BuilderFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements ServiceImplementationFactory

Implementation of ServiceImplementationFactory that can instantiate an object and then configure its properties.

Some thought has been given to using bytecode generation to create properties for messages, extension point id, and so forth. This is being avoided because it undermines the ability to test service implemenations as POJOs, outside the framework of HiveMind.

Instead the service is configured by means of the implementation's constructor and setter methods.

createCoreServiceImplementation

public java.lang.Object createCoreServiceImplementation(ServiceImplementationFactoryParameters factoryParameters)

Description copied from interface: ServiceImplementationFactory

Creates a core implementation object for a particular service extension point. Typically, the factory creates an instance and modifies it to implement the necessary interface (in much the same way that an ServiceInterceptorFactory would). Incompatible change from 1.0: A long list of individual parameters have been collapsed down into the factoryParameters.

Specified by:

createCoreServiceImplementation in interface ServiceImplementationFactory

Parameters:

factoryParameters - provides the information about the service necessary to construct the service.
