Interface LocalRepositoryManagerFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

EnhancedLocalRepositoryManagerFactory, SimpleLocalRepositoryManagerFactory

public interface LocalRepositoryManagerFactory

A factory to create managers for the local repository. A local repository manager needs to keep track of artifacts and metadata and manage access. When the repository system needs a repository manager for a given local repository, it iterates the registered factories in descending order of their priority and calls newInstance(LocalRepository) on them. The first manager returned by a factory will then be used for the local repository.

Method Summary

int	getPriority() The priority of this factory.
LocalRepositoryManager	newInstance(LocalRepository repository) Tries to create a repository manager for the specified local repository.

Throws:
