Class DummyFactory

java.lang.Object

com.nt.udc.util.DummyFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Factory

public class DummyFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements Factory

In some situations, there may be a class that requires a Factory, but needs a "passthrough" getObject method that just returns itself. As an example, the FileHashtable may want to store the key that it uses as a key. Therefore, when the table rebuilds, it doesn't want to re-create a key from the stored object - it just wants the object itself.
