getCustomHome

public static SmartHome getCustomHome(java.lang.String belongingInterface)

Given a bean interface, use the factory pattern to get its custom home. If a bean's custom home is not defined in the theory.properties file, then this method returns null. This is an example of specifying a custom home name in the properties file.

  theory.smart.axiom.contact.Address.CustomHomeName = com.acme.util.AddressHome
  theory.smart.axiom.contact.Phone.CustomHomeName = com.acme.contact.PhoneHome
 

create

public static Belonging create(java.lang.String belongingInterface)

Given a bean interface, use the factory pattern to create an instance. The bean instance can be obtained from the theory.properties file. If it is not there, then we will use the default Impl where is the name of the bean interface. This is an example of specifying a different Impl class in the properties file.

 theory.smart.axiom.contact.Address.BelongingBeanClassName = com.acme.util.AddressBean
 theory.smart.axiom.contact.Phone.BelongingBeanClassName = com.acme.contact.PhoneBean
