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.
