  org.jboss.dna.graph.property.basic.AbstractValueFactories

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<ValueFactory<?>>, ValueFactories

Direct Known Subclasses:

StandardValueFactories

@ThreadSafe
public abstract class AbstractValueFactories
extends Object
implements ValueFactories

Abstract implementation of ValueFactories that implements all the methods other than the get*Factory() methods. Subclasses can simply implement these methods and inherit the iterator(), getValueFactory(Object) and getValueFactory(PropertyType) method implementations.

Constructor Summary

AbstractValueFactories()

Method Summary

ValueFactory<?>	getValueFactory(Object prototype) Get the value factory that is best able to create values with the most natural type given by the supplied value.
ValueFactory<?>	getValueFactory(PropertyType type) Get the value factory that creates values of the supplied type.
Iterator<ValueFactory<?>>	iterator() This implementation always iterates over the instances return by the get*Factory() methods.

Method Detail

iterator

public Iterator<ValueFactory<?>> iterator()

This implementation always iterates over the instances return by the get*Factory() methods.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<ValueFactory<?>>

getValueFactory

public ValueFactory<?> getValueFactory(PropertyType type)

Get the value factory that creates values of the supplied type.

Specified by:

getValueFactory in interface ValueFactories

Parameters:

type - the type for the values

Returns:

the factory; never null

getValueFactory

public ValueFactory<?> getValueFactory(Object prototype)

Get the value factory that is best able to create values with the most natural type given by the supplied value.

Specified by:

getValueFactory in interface ValueFactories

Parameters:

prototype - the value that should be used to determine the best value factory

Returns:

the factory; never null
