21 | * The <code>Configurator</code> interface defines methods for looking up | |
22 | * Configurations and for configuring <code>Configurable</code> instances. | |
23 | * | |
24 | * call sequence: | |
25 | * 1. The application obtains a <code>Configurator</code> instance (typically from a | |
26 | * Factory). | |
27 | * | |
28 | * 2. The application uses the Configurator to configure <code>Configurable</code> | |
29 | * instances. | |
30 | * The Configurator must lookup the proper <code>Configuration</code> and invoke | |
31 | * the <code>configure</code> method on the <code>Configurable</code> instance. | |
32 | * | |
33 | * <pre> | |
34 | * // 1. obtain Configurator | |
35 | * Configurator configurator = OjbConfigurator.getInstance(); | |
36 | * | |
37 | * // 2. ask Configurator to configure the Configurable instance | |
38 | * Configurable obj = ... | |
39 | * configurator.configure(obj); | |
