| abstract GeneralizedFieldHandler | createFieldHandler (Class type) throws MappingException |
An abstract factory class for creating GeneralizedFieldHandlers.
| abstract GeneralizedFieldHandler org.exolab.castor.mapping.FieldHandlerFactory.createFieldHandler | ( | Class | type | ) | throws MappingException [pure virtual] |
Creates a GeneralizedFieldHandler for the given class type. The method should return a new GeneralizedFieldHandler as an "underlying" FieldHandler will need to be set by the caller.

| abstract boolean org.exolab.castor.mapping.FieldHandlerFactory.isSupportedType | ( | Class | type | ) | [pure virtual] |
Returns true if the given Class type is supported by this FieldHandlerFactory. If the type is supported, a call to createFieldHandler will return a valid FieldHandler. If the type is not supported, a call to createFieldHandler may return null or throw a MappingException.
