Method Detail

getInstance

public static MediatorFactoryFinder getInstance()

reset

public static void reset()

Force re initialization next time

getMediator

public Mediator getMediator(OMElement element,
                            Properties properties)

This method returns a Processor given an OMElement. This will be used recursively by the elements which contain processor elements themselves (e.g. rules)

Parameters:

element - XML representation of a mediator

properties - bag of properties to pass in any information to the factory

Returns:

Processor

getFactoryMap

public Map<QName,Class> getFactoryMap()

This method exposes all the MediatorFactories and its Extensions

Returns:

factoryMap

getObjectFromOMNode

public Object getObjectFromOMNode(OMNode om,
                                  Properties properties)

Allow the mediator factory finder to act as an XMLToObjectMapper for Mediators (i.e. Sequence Mediator) loaded dynamically from a Registry

Specified by:

getObjectFromOMNode in interface XMLToObjectMapper

Parameters:

om - node from which the object is expected

properties - bag of properties to pass in any information to the factory

Returns:

Object buit from the om node
