Interface Factory

All Known Implementing Classes:
AdaptationFactory, IOFactory, ModelFactory, NESTGraphVisualizerFactory, NESTWorkflowVisualizerFactory, ObjectPoolFactory, OntologyFactory, RetrievalFactory, SimilarityModelFactory, TransformationConfigFactory
public interface Factory
The Factory interface defined three methods that must be implemented by each Factory implementation. Please note that each factory implementation should have a private constructor in order to prevent the creation of instances.

  • Method Details

    • bind

      boolean bind(Object implementation)
      Bind an implementation to the factory.
      Parameters:
      implementation - The object to bind.
      Returns:
      true if the factory accept the implementation, otherwise false .

    • unbind

      boolean unbind(Object implementation)
      Unbinds an implementation from the factory.
      Parameters:
      implementation - The object to unbind.
      Returns:
      true if the factory accept the implementation, otherwise false .

    • reset

      void reset()
      This method has to be implemented by every factory in order to allow a proper restart of ProCAKE. For example, this method might reset the default factory object or other stateful variables.

    • addParameter

      default void addParameter(AbstractParameter param)
      Adds a parameter to this factory.
      Parameters:
      param - the parameter to add

    • postInit

      default void postInit()
      Post initialization.
