Class ObjectFactory

java.lang.Object
  extended by weblogic.apache.xerces.util.ObjectFactory

Deprecated. please use JDK supplied XML parsers and transformers

public class ObjectFactory
extends Object

This class is duplicated for each JAXP subpackage so keep it in sync. It is package private and therefore is not exposed as part of the JAXP API.

This code is designed to implement the JAXP 1.1 spec pluggability feature and is designed to run on JDK version 1.1 and later, and to compile on JDK 1.2 and onward. The code also runs both as part of an unbundled jar file and when bundled as part of the JDK.

This class was moved from the javax.xml.parsers.ObjectFactory class and modified to be used as a general utility for creating objects dynamically.

Method Detail

createObject

public static Object createObject(String factoryId,
                                  String fallbackClassName)
                           throws ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError
Deprecated. 
Finds the implementation Class object in the specified order. The specified order is the following:
  1. query the system property using System.getProperty
  2. read META-INF/services/factoryId file
  3. use fallback classname

Parameters:
factoryId - Name of the factory to find, same as a property name
fallbackClassName - Implementation class name, if nothing else is found. Use null to mean no fallback.
Returns:
Class object of factory, never null
Throws:
ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError

createObject

public static Object createObject(String factoryId,
                                  String propertiesFilename,
                                  String fallbackClassName)
                           throws ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError
Deprecated. 
Finds the implementation Class object in the specified order. The specified order is the following:
  1. query the system property using System.getProperty
  2. read $java.home/lib/propertiesFilename file
  3. read META-INF/services/factoryId file
  4. use fallback classname

Parameters:
factoryId - Name of the factory to find, same as a property name
propertiesFilename - The filename in the $java.home/lib directory of the properties file.
fallbackClassName - Implementation class name, if nothing else is found. Use null to mean no fallback.
Returns:
Class object of factory, never null
Throws:
ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError

findClassLoader

public static ClassLoader findClassLoader()
                                   throws ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError
Deprecated. 
Figure out which ClassLoader to use. For JDK 1.2 and later use the context ClassLoader.

Throws:
ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError

newInstance

public static Object newInstance(String className,
                                 ClassLoader cl,
                                 boolean doFallback)
                          throws ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError
Deprecated. 
Create an instance of a class using the specified ClassLoader

Throws:
ObjectFactory.ConfigurationError
