Class PackageTagHandlerFactory

java.lang.Object

  +--jgb.factories.swing.PackageTagHandlerFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

TagHandlerFactory

public class PackageTagHandlerFactory

extends Object

implements TagHandlerFactory

Implementation of TagHandlerFactory that returns TagHandlers based on a package name and class suffix. This factory will use the following formula to build the fully-qualified name of the class to instantiate:

1. The package name (prefix)
2. a period (dot - ".")
3. the first letter of the tag name, upper cased
4. the remaining characters of the tag name
5. the suffix

For example, if an instance of this factory was created with the package name equal to "com.xyz.handlers" and the suffix equal to "XmlTagHandler", getHandlerFor(String) would return an instance of com.xyz.handlers.WindowsXmlTagHandler if the tag name was equal to windows.
This factory expects all TagHandlers to have a no-arg constructor.

Since:

0.1.1a

Description copied from interface: TagHandlerFactory

Returns a TagHandler for the named tag. This method must return the same instance each time it is called with the same argument. This way, tag handlers can store information in their instance variables, although this is discouraged.

Specified by:

getHandlerFor in interface TagHandlerFactory

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - If the named tag does not exist or is not understood by this factory.
