Class BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.ibm.conversation.base.BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory

public class BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory

extends java.lang.Object

Class BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory is a simple factory of DecisionLogicAdapter objects.

Users configure the factory by supplying (policyName, role, DecisionLogicAdapter-class) tuples. In operation, a user supplies a policy name and role, and a DecisionLogicAdapter of the given class type is created and returned. Note that this assumes that a (policyName, role) pair is sufficient to identify the class type of the DecisionLogicAdapter to create.

Constructor Summary

BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory()
Constructs a BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory object.

Method Summary

void	addDecisionLogicClass(java.lang.String policyName, java.lang.String role, java.lang.Class dlaClass) Associates the given DecisionLogicAdapter class with the given (policyName, role) pair.
DecisionLogicAdapter	createDecisionLogic(java.lang.String policyName, java.lang.String role) Creates and returns a new DecisionLogicAdapter for the (policyName, role) pair.
boolean	isSupported(java.lang.String policyName, java.lang.String role) Indicates whether the given (policyName, role) pair has had a DecisionLogicAdapter class associated with it.

Constructor Detail

BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory

public BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory()

Constructs a BasicDecisionLogicAdapterFactory object.

Method Detail

isSupported

public boolean isSupported(java.lang.String policyName,
                           java.lang.String role)

Indicates whether the given (policyName, role) pair has had a DecisionLogicAdapter class associated with it.

Parameters:

policyName - The name of a conversation policy.

role - The role in that conversation policy.

Returns:

true if there is a DecisionLogicAdapter class associated with the args, false if not.

addDecisionLogicClass

public void addDecisionLogicClass(java.lang.String policyName,
                                  java.lang.String role,
                                  java.lang.Class dlaClass)

Associates the given DecisionLogicAdapter class with the given (policyName, role) pair.

If the given class is not assignable to a DecisionLogicAdapter, then this does nothing.

Parameters:

policyName - The name of a conversation policy.

role - The role in that conversation policy.

dlaClass - The DecisionLogicAdapter class to associate with that (policyName, role) pair.

createDecisionLogic

public DecisionLogicAdapter createDecisionLogic(java.lang.String policyName,
                                                java.lang.String role)

Creates and returns a new DecisionLogicAdapter for the (policyName, role) pair.

Parameters:

policyName - The name of a conversation policy.

role - The role in that conversation policy.

Returns:

The new DecisionLogicAdapter, or null if no match was found.
