public interface StartupActionFactory
extends JmriServiceProviderInterface

Provide an SPI for registering potential startup actions with the StartupActionsManager.

Instances of this class need to be registered with a ServiceLoader. The best way to register is include a file META-INF/services/jmri.util.startup.StartupActionFactory in the classpath (preferably in a JAR with the action the instance supports). JMRI code uses the ServiceProvider annotation to generate that file.

AbstractStartupActionFactory provides an abstract base class for creating factories that implements most of the boilerplate needed.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Class<?>[]	getActionClasses()	Get the classes this factory supports.
String[]	getOverriddenClasses(Class<?> clazz)	Get startup actions overridden by the given class.
String	getTitle(Class<?> clazz)	Get the title for the given class using the default locale.
String	getTitle(Class<?> clazz, Locale locale)	Get the title for the given class.

Method Details

getTitle

@Nonnull String getTitle(@Nonnull Class<?> clazz) throws IllegalArgumentException

Get the title for the given class using the default locale.

Parameters:

clazz - the class

Returns:

the title

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the class is not supported by this factory

getTitle

@Nonnull String getTitle(@Nonnull Class<?> clazz, @Nonnull Locale locale) throws IllegalArgumentException

Get the title for the given class.

Parameters:

clazz - the class

locale - the desired locale for the title

Returns:

the title in the given locale

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the class is not supported by this factory

getActionClasses

@Nonnull Class<?>[] getActionClasses()

Get the classes this factory supports.

Returns:

the supported classes or an empty array

getOverriddenClasses

@Nonnull String[] getOverriddenClasses(@Nonnull Class<?> clazz) throws IllegalArgumentException

Get startup actions overridden by the given class. This is designed to allow a new class to replace a deprecated class.

Note: the behavior is undefined if multiple classes override a single class.

Parameters:

clazz - the overriding class

Returns:

the overridden classes or an empty array

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the class is not supported by this factory
