Interface IModelFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

StandardModelFactory

public interface IModelFactory

Interface defining model factories.

A Model Factory can be obtained at custom processor artifacts by means of ITemplateContext.getModelFactory(), and then used for creating and modifying models (IModel) and events (ITemplateEvent.

The StandardModelFactory implementation will be used by default.

Since:

3.0.0
