Interface BeanBuilderFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

JellyBeanBuilderFactory

public interface BeanBuilderFactory

Definition of an interface for querying new BeanBuilder objects.

This interface provides a generic means for obtaining a new BeanBuilder instance that can be used for processing a script with bean definitions. It is a typical factory interface decoupling its clients from the concrete builder implementation.

Note: An implementation is intended to be thread-safe, so that it can be shared between multiple threads. For the returned BeanBuilder instances however, this is not the case. They should be used by a single thread only.
