Class WSDLFactory

public abstract class WSDLFactory extends Object

This abstract class defines a factory API that enables applications to obtain a WSDLFactory capable of producing new Definitions, new WSDLReaders, and new WSDLWriters. Some ideas used here have been shamelessly copied from the wonderful JAXP and Xerces work.

Method Detail

newDefinition

public abstract Definition newDefinition()

Create a new instance of a Definition.

newInstance

public static WSDLFactory newInstance()

Get a new instance of a WSDLFactory. This method follows (almost) the same basic sequence of steps that JAXP follows to determine the fully-qualified class name of the class which implements WSDLFactory.

The steps in order are:

Check the property file META-INF/services/javax.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactory.
Check the javax.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactory system property.
Check the lib/wsdl.properties file in the JRE directory. The key will have the same name as the above system property.
Use the default class name provided by the implementation.

Once an instance of a WSDLFactory is obtained, invoke newDefinition(), newWSDLReader(), or newWSDLWriter(), to create the desired instances.

newInstance

public static WSDLFactory newInstance(String factoryImplName)

Get a new instance of a WSDLFactory. This method returns an instance of the class factoryImplName. Once an instance of a WSDLFactory is obtained, invoke newDefinition(), newWSDLReader(), or newWSDLWriter(), to create the desired instances.

Parameters: factoryImplName the fully-qualified class name of the class which provides a concrete implementation of the abstract class WSDLFactory.

newInstance

public static WSDLFactory newInstance(String factoryImplName, ClassLoader classLoader)

Get a new instance of a WSDLFactory. This method returns an instance of the class factoryImplName, using the specified ClassLoader. Once an instance of a WSDLFactory is obtained, invoke newDefinition(), newWSDLReader(), or newWSDLWriter(), to create the desired instances.

Parameters: factoryImplName the fully-qualified class name of the class which provides a concrete implementation of the abstract class WSDLFactory. classLoader the ClassLoader to use to load the WSDLFactory implementation.
