Method Detail

getModel

public static Model getModel()

Gets the Model singleton.

By default this class will instantiate a new instance and hold it in a static class variable as the singleton to return for other calls. This behaviour can be changed by setting a system property with key org.jdtaus.core.container.ModelFactory to the name of a class defining a public static Model getModel() method returning the singleton instance of the model.

Returns:

the singleton Model instance.

Throws:

ModelError - for unrecoverable model errors.

newModel()

newModel

public static Model newModel()

Creates a new instance of the configured Model implementation.

The implementation to be used can be controlled via a system property with key org.jdtaus.core.container.Model set to a class name to be loaded as the Model implementation.

This method should be used by getModel() implementors to retrieve a new Model instance.

Returns:

a new instance of the configured Model implementation.

Throws:

ModelError - for unrecoverable model errors.
