VirtualAmetysObjectFactory (Ametys 4.4.x - API)

Type Parameters:

A - the actual type of AmetysObjects

All Superinterfaces:

AmetysObjectFactory<A>, Component

All Known Implementing Classes:

BlogRootPageFactory, FirstLevelPageFactory, VirtualOrganisationChartPageFactory, VirtualUGCPageFactory, VirtualUserDirectoryPageFactory
```
public interface VirtualAmetysObjectFactory<A extends AmetysObject>
extends AmetysObjectFactory<A>
```
AmetysObjectFactory for handling "virtual" objects, in that they did not rely directly to the JCR storage.
Such factory is bounded to an object through a particular property in the JCR tree.
Virtual AmetysObject handled by a VirtualAmetysObjectFactory are considered as children of the JCRAmetysObject corresponding to the JCR Node holding that property.
