Method Detail

getInstance

public static final PhysicalSystemFactory getInstance()

Method used to retrieve an instance of the factory class.

create

public static PhysicalSystem create(Simulation simulation)
                             throws PhysicalSystemFactoryException

Note: This method is used by the feynman.framework.Controller. Unless you are not using those classes to build your simulation, you should not have to use this factory class directly. If you do, then follow the instructions given below.

Use this method to create a PhysicalSystem of PhysicalObjects. The className is the name of the class to be instantiated for the type of physical system to be created. For example, if the client wants to to create a system included in the framework, then the following call to this factory will work:

 Simulation simulation = Marshaller.unmarshall("MyProps.properties");
 PhysicalSystemFactory sf = PhysicalSystemFactory.getInstance();
 PhysicalSystem ps = sf.create(simulation);
