Interface IPrototypeFactory.IInitializer

Enclosing interface:

IPrototypeFactory

public static interface IPrototypeFactory.IInitializer

Interface to be implemented by classes that are registered as initializers via IPrototypeFactory.addInitializer(int, org.jpu.patterns.factory.IPrototypeFactory.IInitializer). The list of initializers is called in order immediately after an object has been instantiated.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(IPrototypeFactory fact,
                       java.lang.Object prototype,
                       int howCreated,
                       FactoryOptions options)

Called immediately after an object has been instantiated, either for the client or for the factory's use internally as a prototype.

Parameters:

fact - The factory.

prototype - The newly-created prototype.

howCreated - set to IInitializer.INSTANTIATOR if the object was created by an IPrototypeFactory.IInstantiator, IInitializer.NEW_INSTANCE if Class.newInstance() was used, or IInitializer.CLONE if the object was cloned from an existing prototype.

options - The FactoryOptions passed to the factory from the client. If no options were passed by the client, this will be a default instance. Guaranteed not to be null.
