Detailed Description

The AbstractFactory class implements some of the more general methods that are in de FactoryInterface.

Member Function Documentation

bool AbstractFactory::canUse ( const Resource &  resource ) const

virtual

checks if a resource can be used by this factory. The method is optional as not all factories do need it.

Parameters

resource

Returns

Implements Ilwis::FactoryInterface.

QString Ilwis::AbstractFactory::description ( ) const

virtual

returns an optional description of the functionality of the factory

Returns

Implements Ilwis::FactoryInterface.

QString Ilwis::AbstractFactory::key ( ) const

virtual

The combination of subtype and type in the format <subtype>::<type>, e.g. ilwis3::ilwisobjectfactory. Keys are always in lower case.

Returns

a string with the unique key for this factory

Implements Ilwis::FactoryInterface.

bool AbstractFactory::prepare ( )

virtual

initialization of the factory. The method is optional as not all factories need it.

Returns

true if succesfull. Any errors can be found on the issuelog

Implements Ilwis::FactoryInterface.

Reimplemented in Ilwis::GeoRefImplementationFactory.

QString Ilwis::AbstractFactory::subtype ( ) const

virtual

while the type describes the general type, the subtype usualy points to the plug-in were it can be located. E.g. there is an IlwisObjectFactory in both the Ilwis3 connector plugin as in the Gdal connector plugin. The subtype "ilwis3" and "gdal" discriminates between them

Returns

the subtype of the factory

Implements Ilwis::FactoryInterface.

QString Ilwis::AbstractFactory::type ( ) const

virtual

return the type of the factory. The combination, type+subtype ( AbstractFactory::key) is used to locate factories in the master-factory

Returns

Implements Ilwis::FactoryInterface.
