Interface com.jconfig.FileRegistryFactoryI

Summary

    public interface  FileRegistryFactoryI
    {
              // Fields 1
         public static final String copyrightString;

              // Methods 1
         public abstract FileRegistryI createFileRegistry(File, int);
    }

Represents an object used to create objects implementing the FileRegistryI interface.

On initialization, the FileRegistry singleton reads the file 'jcfactrz.txt', which contains a list of classes implementing this interface. For example:

com.jconfig.win.FileRegistryFactoryWin
com.jconfig.mac.FileRegistryFactoryMac
com.jconfig.nix.FileRegistryFactoryNix

Each class listed in this file is created and given a chance to create a FileRegistryI object.
If the object returns a FileRegistryI object, all calls to the FileRegistry will be delegated to that object.
If the object can't create an object, (for instance if it's running on an unsupported platform), it should return null.
If all of the FileRegistryFactoryI objects specified in 'jcfactrz.txt' return null, FileRegistry creates a FileRegistryPlain object, and delegates all calls to it.
