Class DefaultObjectFactory

java.lang.Object

io.cucumber.core.backend.DefaultObjectFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Container, Lookup, ObjectFactory

@API(status=STABLE,
     since="7.1.0")
public final class DefaultObjectFactory
extends Object
implements ObjectFactory

Default factory to instantiate glue classes. Loaded via SPI.

This object factory instantiates glue classes by using their public no-argument constructor. As such it does not provide any dependency injection.

Note: This class is intentionally an explicit part of the public api. It allows the default object factory to be used even when another object factory implementation is present through the "cucumber.object-factory" property or equivalent configuration options.
