      public ObjectDescription getSuperClassObjectDescription(Class d, ObjectDescription knownSuperClass)
      Returns an object description for the super class of a class. This method always returns null.
      Specified by:
      getSuperClassObjectDescription in interface ClassFactory
      Parameters:
      d - the class.
      knownSuperClass - the last known super class or null.
      Returns:
      The object description.
    • getRegisteredClasses

      public Iterator getRegisteredClasses()
      Returns an iterator for the registered classes. This returns a list of pre-registered classes known to this ClassFactory. A class may be able to handle more than the registered classes.

      This method exists to support query tools for UI design, do not rely on it for day to day work.

      Specified by:
      getRegisteredClasses in interface ClassFactory
      Returns:
      The iterator.
    • configure

      public void configure(Configuration config)
      Configures this factory. The configuration contains several keys and their defined values. The given reference to the configuration object will remain valid until the report parsing or writing ends.

      The configuration contents may change during the reporting.

      Specified by:
      configure in interface ClassFactory
      Parameters:
      config - the configuration, never null
    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object o)
      ArrayClassFactories are always equal, there is nothing that could not be equal :)
      Specified by:
      equals in interface ClassFactory
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      o - the other object.
      Returns:
      true, if both object factories describe the same objects, false otherwise.
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.
      Specified by:
      hashCode in interface ClassFactory
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      the computed hashcode.
