public NullModuleFactory()

Method Detail

isModuleAvailable

public boolean isModuleAvailable(ModuleIdentifier identifier)

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Returns whether a module is available for use. This allows the use of optional modules.

Specified by:

isModuleAvailable in interface ModuleFactoryInstance

Parameters:

identifier - the module identifier

Returns:

the availability of the target module

getModule

public Module getModule(ModuleIdentifier identifier)

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Returns the module, given the module identifier.

Specified by:

getModule in interface ModuleFactoryInstance

Parameters:

identifier - the module identifier

Returns:

the module

getRequiredModules

public ModuleList getRequiredModules(ModuleIdentifier identifier)

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Returns the modules required by the given module.

Specified by:

getRequiredModules in interface ModuleFactoryInstance

Parameters:

identifier - the module identifier of the module of interest

Returns:

the required modules

addIdentifier

public void addIdentifier(ModuleIdentifier identifier)

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Adds an identifier to the factory storage mechanism.

Specified by:

addIdentifier in interface ModuleFactoryInstance

identifier - the identifier

addIdentifier

public void addIdentifier(ModuleIdentifier[] identifiers)

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Adds identifiers to the factory storage mechanism.

Specified by:

addIdentifier in interface ModuleFactoryInstance

Parameters:

identifiers - an array of identifiers

addConfig

public void addConfig(ModuleIdentifier identifier,
                      Object config)

load

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Resolve a module name into a ModuleIdentifier

Specified by:

resolveModuleName in interface ModuleFactoryInstance

Parameters:

moduleName - the name of the module

resolveClassName

public ModuleIdentifier resolveClassName(String className)

Description copied from interface: ModuleFactoryInstance

Resolves a classname of a module into the module identifier.

Specified by:

resolveClassName in interface ModuleFactoryInstance
