com.liferay.faces.bridge.config
Class BridgeConfigFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.liferay.faces.bridge.config.BridgeConfigFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

FactoryWrapper<BridgeConfigFactory>, javax.faces.FacesWrapper<BridgeConfigFactory>

Direct Known Subclasses:

BridgeConfigFactoryImpl

public abstract class BridgeConfigFactory
extends Object
implements FactoryWrapper<BridgeConfigFactory>

This abstract class provides a contract for defining a factory that knows how to create instances of type BridgeConfig. It is inspired by the factory pattern found in the JSF API like FacesContextFactory and ExternalContextFactory. However, unlike these classes, it does NOT implement the FacesWrapper interface. The reason why is because bridge configuration is part of a chicken-and-the-egg type of scenario. Without the bridge configuration, the bridge can't initialize properly. Once it is initialized, it's too late to delegate responsibility to a different factory in the chain.
