public interface Factory
Base interface for all factories. Factories can be grouped in two categories:

  • Authority factories creates objects from a compact string defined by an authority.
  • Object factories allows applications to make objects that cannot be created by an authority factory. This factory is very flexible, whereas the authority factory is easier to use.

      Citation getVendor()
      Returns the vendor responsible for creating this factory implementation. Many implementations may be available for the same factory interface. Implementations are usually managed by a service registry.
      Returns:
      The vendor for this factory implementation.
