Parameters:
config - the configuration, never null

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)
Tests for equality.
Specified by:
equals in interface ClassFactory
Parameters:
o - the object to test.
Returns:
A boolean.

getComparator

public ClassComparator getComparator()
Returns the class comparator used to sort the super classes of an object.
Returns:
the class comparator.

getConfig

public Configuration getConfig()
Returns the currently set configuration or null, if none was set.
Returns:
the configuration.

getDescriptionForClass

public ObjectDescription getDescriptionForClass(Class c)
Returns an object-description for a class.
Specified by:
getDescriptionForClass in interface ClassFactory
Parameters:
c - the class.
Returns:
An object description.

getRegisteredClasses

public Iterator getRegisteredClasses()
Returns an iterator that provides access to the registered object definitions.
Specified by:
getRegisteredClasses in interface ClassFactory
Returns:
The iterator.

getSuperClassObjectDescription

public ObjectDescription getSuperClassObjectDescription(Class d,
                                                        ObjectDescription knownSuperClass)
Returns the most concrete object-description for the super class of a class.
Specified by:
getSuperClassObjectDescription in interface ClassFactory
Parameters:
d - the class.
knownSuperClass - a known supported superclass or null, if no superclass is known yet.
Returns:
The object description.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code.
Specified by:
hashCode in interface ClassFactory
Returns:
A hash code.

registerClass

protected void registerClass(Class key,
                             ObjectDescription od)
Registers an object description with the factory.
Parameters:
key - the key.
od - the object description.
