ID
- The type of the ID to be used.@FunctionalInterface public interface BeanLookupFactory<ID>
BeanLookupFactory
defines the functionality which must be
provided in order to represent a factory for object creation of objects
identified by an ID String
and of the expected type (in contrast to
the TypeFactory
and the LookupFactory
which create instances
of a predefined type specified with a generic argument). Many alternative
implementations of a BeanLookupFactory
may may exist which construct
the instances their way.
Having factories that generic as we define it here, we are able to decouple
our business logic from any specific framework: Your business logic must not
know anything about how the instances are generated. It mainly just needs to
know how to use the BeanLookupFactory
. It is up to the application
"end point", i.e. a command line tool with a main-method or a web-application
to finally decide which factory to use.
Depending on the implementation used or configuration provided, the
BeanLookupFactory
may return singletons or dedicated separate
instances when queried for instances.
