Method Details

createFor

public static IMatchTypeFactory createFor(IMatchTypeFactory factory,
 IMatchTypeFactory defaultFactory)

This method returns a match function factory implementation that combines both the match function factories that are passed to this method.

Parameters:

factory - The match function factory that should be used first when requesting a match function (optional).

defaultFactory - The match function factory that should be used when the first did not supply a match function implementation (mandatory).

Returns:

a match function factory implementation that combines both the match function factories that are passed to this method.

getMatchFunction

public IMatchFunction getMatchFunction(String typeName,
 String name,
 IMatchFunctionParameters parameters)

Description copied from interface: IMatchTypeFactory

This method constructs a match function for a specific match type definition with the specified name and parameters. After construction of this function the object is expected to be reentrant. When a match function could not be created the factory should throw an exception, when the match function could not be found a null pointer should be returned.

Specified by:

getMatchFunction in interface IMatchTypeFactory

Parameters:

typeName - The type name of the match function.

name - The name of the user created match function.

parameters - The parameters which can be used to initialize a match function with specific settings.

Returns:

A match function implementation object. If the match function was unknown null can be returned.
