Class IDGeneratorFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.tm4j.topicmap.utils.IDGeneratorFactory

public class IDGeneratorFactory

extends java.lang.Object

A Factory for creating IDGenerator implementations. The implementation returned depends upon the value of the system property org.tm4j.topicmap.idGenerator. If this property is defined, then the value of the property is treated as a class name and an attempt is made to create an new instance of the class.

If that object creation fails or if the specified class does not implement the IDGenerator interface or if no value is specified for the property, then a new instance of the default implementation (org.tm4j.topicmap.utils.IDGeneratorImpl) will be created.
