Class DependableFactory

java.lang.Object

oracle.ide.model.DependableFactory

public final class DependableFactory
extends java.lang.Object

A factory to discover and create Dependencies to Elements.

The factory offers the following services:

1. Given a starting Element (the parent), this factory can create and return one or more DiscoveredDependable objects, each of which represent dependable end-points within that Element.
2. Given an Element and its parent, the factory can create a Dependable object for that Element.
3. Given a Dependable it can return its serialized HashStructure form.

The DependableFactory.Params context adapter can be used to pass additional parameters to the factory via the Context, including its parent.

Returns:

a Dependable object, or null if it could not be constructed for the given Context.

discover

public java.lang.Iterable<DiscoveredDependable> discover(Context context)

The Context should contain the following:
element - the root element under which dependables are to be discovered. parent - the containing folder or owner of the Element.
origin - the source from where the dependency is originating.

Use the DependableFactory.Params context adapter to set parameters in the Context.
