Interface Configurator

All Known Implementing Classes:

OjbConfigurator

public interface Configurator

The Configurator interface defines methods for looking up Configurations and for configuring Configurable instances. call sequence: 1. The application obtains a Configurator instance (typically from a Factory). 2. The application uses the Configurator to configure Configurable instances. The Configurator must lookup the proper Configuration and invoke the configure method on the Configurable instance.

      // 1. obtain Configurator
      Configurator configurator = OjbConfigurator.getInstance();
 
      // 2. ask Configurator to configure the Configurable instance
      Configurable obj = ...
      configurator.configure(obj);
