Interface SpiProfileRecognizer

public interface SpiProfileRecognizer

A gateway for an SPI to recurse back into the Recognizer framework for resolving sub-elements. For example, an EarProfile recognizer for a Worksapce element may use this to identify individual Projects before determining if an EarProfile can be created for that workspace.

Without this gateway, the Recognizer could fall into an endless loop if one of the Projects were also identifiable as an EarProfile.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
AbstractBuilder[]	createBuilder(Element element, java.lang.Class classOrIntf) Create a builder for element with the original IDE context.

Method Detail

createBuilder

AbstractBuilder[] createBuilder(Element element,
                                java.lang.Class classOrIntf)

Create a builder for element with the original IDE context.

Parameters:

classOrIntf - the requested type. The profile that will be built by the returned AbstractBuilder should be a assignable to this type.

Returns:

a Builder for each Profile type that can be created. Empty array is returned if requested type cannot be created.

createBuilder

AbstractBuilder[] createBuilder(Element element,
                                Context context,
                                java.lang.Class classOrIntf)

Create a builder for element with a new IDE context.

The returned Builder will be created in this context and will continue to use the new context when its asked to create a Profile.

Parameters:

element -

context -

classOrIntf - the requested type. The profile that will be built by the returned AbstractBuilder should be a assignable to this type.

Returns:

a Builder for each Profile type that can be created. Guaranteed non-null.

narrow

AbstractBuilder[] narrow(AbstractBuilder[] builders)

Returns a set of builders that are unique with respect to their class heirarchy. All builders that construct profiles that are super-classes to other profiles in the input set are removed. In case of builders creating the same profile classes, the first builder is retained and the rest discarded.

Parameters:

builders -

Returns:
