Class ContainerFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.ecf.core.ContainerFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

IContainerFactory, IContainerManager

public class ContainerFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements IContainerFactory, IContainerManager

Factory for creating IContainer instances. This class provides ECF clients an entry point to constructing IContainer instances.

Here is an example use of the ContainerFactory to construct an instance of the 'standalone' container (has no connection to other containers):

IContainer container =
ContainerFactory.getDefault().createContainer("ecf.generic.client");

...further use of container here... For more details on the creation and lifecycle of IContainer instances created via this factory see IContainer.
