Interface ComponentFactory
public interface ComponentFactory
When a component is declared with the factory
attribute on its
component
element, the Service Component Runtime will register
a Component Factory service to allow new component configurations to be
created and activated rather than automatically creating and activating
component configuration as necessary.
- Version:
- $Revision: 1.19 $
newInstance
ComponentInstance newInstance(Dictionary properties)
- Create and activate a new component configuration. Additional properties
may be provided for the component configuration.
- Parameters:
properties
- Additional properties for the component configuration
or null
if there are no additional properties.
- Returns:
- A
ComponentInstance
object encapsulating the
component instance of the component configuration. The component
configuration has been activated and, if the component specifies
a service
element, the component instance has been
registered as a service.
- Throws:
ComponentException
- If the Service Component Runtime is unable to
activate the component configuration.
