Class SleeProviderFactory

java.lang.Object

javax.slee.management.SleeProviderFactory

public final class SleeProviderFactory
extends Object

The SleeProviderFactory provides a static factory method for instantiating SleeProvider peer classes. The peer class provides a management client with enough information to begin interacting with a particular vendor's SLEE management subsystem. Every SLEE vendor must provide an implementation of the SleeProvider interface (a peer class) and document the its fully-qualifed class name.

Method Detail

getSleeProvider

public static SleeProvider getSleeProvider(String peerClassName)
                                    throws NullPointerException,
                                           PeerUnavailableException

Get an instance of a SleeProvider peer class. This method is equivalent to getSleeProvider(peerClassName, SleeProviderFactory.class.getClassLoader()). In the case where the SleeProviderFactory's class loader is null, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() is used instead.

Parameters:

peerClassName - the fully-qualified class name of a class that implements the SleeProvider interface.

Returns:

an instance of the specified class.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if peerClassName is null.

PeerUnavailableException - if the peer class could not be instantiated or did not implement the SleeProvider interface.

getSleeProvider

public static SleeProvider getSleeProvider(String peerClassName,
                           ClassLoader classloader)
                                    throws NullPointerException,
                                           PeerUnavailableException

Get an instance of a SleeProvider peer class using the specified class loader.

Parameters:

peerClassName - the fully-qualified class name of a class that implements the SleeProvider interface.

classloader - the classloader to use to load the peer class.

Returns:

an instance of the specified class.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if peerClassName or classloader is null.

PeerUnavailableException - if the peer class could not be instantiated or did not implement the SleeProvider interface.
