Constructor Detail

### ClassFactoryImpl

    public ClassFactoryImpl()

  Creates a new class factory.

Method Detail

### getComparator

    public ClassComparator getComparator()

  Returns the class comparator used to sort the super classes of an object.

  Returns:
    the class comparator.

### getDescriptionForClass

    public ObjectDescription getDescriptionForClass(java.lang.Class c)

  Returns an object-description for a class.

  Specified by:
    `getDescriptionForClass` in interface `ClassFactory`
  Parameters:
    `c` - the class.
  Returns:
    An object description.

### getSuperClassObjectDescription

    public ObjectDescription getSuperClassObjectDescription(java.lang.Class d,
                                                            ObjectDescription knownSuperClass)

  Returns the most concrete object-description for the super class of a class.

  Specified by:
    `getSuperClassObjectDescription` in interface `ClassFactory`
  Parameters:
    `d` - the class.
    `knownSuperClass` - a known supported superclass or null, if no superclass is known yet.
  Returns:
    The object description.

### registerClass

    protected void registerClass(java.lang.Class key,
                                 ObjectDescription od)

  Registers an object description with the factory.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key.
    `od` - the object description.

### getRegisteredClasses

    public java.util.Iterator getRegisteredClasses()

  Returns an iterator that provides access to the registered object definitions.

    `getRegisteredClasses` in interface `ClassFactory`
  Returns:
    The iterator.

### configure

    public void configure(Configuration config)

  Configures this factory. The configuration contains several keys and their defined values. The given reference to the configuration object will remain valid until the report parsing or writing ends.
