Class EboFactory

java.lang.Object
 |
 +--com.novell.afw.portal.factory.EboFactory

public final class EboFactory

extends Object

Allows access to the portal aggregation controller.

To implement your own controller you must implement the EbiPortalAggregationController interface or extend the abstract class com.novell.afw.portal.aggregation.EboPortalAggregationController. (The default implementation is defined in com.novell.afw.portal.aggregation.EboPortalAggregationControllerImpl.) The Implementing class (your controller) must be added to the portal services service.xml for the "com.novell.afw.portal.api.EbiPortalAggregationController" interface so that this factory can load your implementation.

Note

This factory provides a singleton pattern. Only one instance will be instantiated so your implementation must be thread safe !

Since:

v.5.0

Method Detail

getController

public static EbiPortalAggregationController getController()

Returns the singleton of the implementing class of the EbiPortalAggregationController interface. if this method is called for the first time, the implementing class will be determined by the service.xml entry for the "com.novell.afw.portal.api.EbiPortalAggregationController" interface.The instance will be created using Class.newInstance(), so your implementation needs to provide a public, no argument constructor

Returns:

the singleton of the implementing class, cast to the interface EbiPortalAggregationController

Throws:

EboRuntimeException - if the EboBaseFactory has problems loading the implementation

v.5.0
