Interface ObjectFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

ObjectFactory.Default

public interface ObjectFactory

Responsible for instantiating objects - converting from strings in a config file to a real instance.

Typically you would use the ObjectFactory.Default implementation, but this can be replaced. e.g. To connect to a dependency injection framework, lookup from a registry, do custom classloading, etc.
