public interface IPHXFactory

A factory is a class that has the logic for turning a file on disk into a real component instance and for retrieving component meta data.

Method Summary

PHXComponentDescription	describe(java.io.File dir, java.lang.String compClass, java.lang.String virtualDir) describes the specified component.
java.io.File	getFileFor(java.io.File dir, java.lang.String compClass, java.lang.String virtualDir) Returns a File object which points to the file on disk which contains the implementation of this component
IPHXComponent	instantiate(java.io.File dir, java.lang.String compClass, java.lang.String virtualDir) creates an instance of the specified component.
java.util.Collection	listComponents(java.io.File dir, java.lang.String virtualDir)
