public class Factory

extends java.lang.Object

Factory is used to create every Proteus object. All Factory methods are static. Factory's create() method takes an xml specification as a parameter and generally passes the specification to the constructor of the object being created. If the object being created has a name, it is registered with the Factory's static registry hash table and can be retrieved by name via the fetch() method.
