com.ibm.designer.domino.xsp.api.panels
Interface IPanelsFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPanelsFactory

public interface IPanelsFactory

An interface used by the Lotus Domino Designer properties panels framework to create property panels for a given control. The framework uses the com.ibm.designer.domino.xsp.editor.component extension point to calculate which Classes/panels are needed for any given control. Once the ids of the panels have been distinguished the framework resolves the name of the factory that is to be used to load the panels. The factory (which is an instance of IPanelsFactory) is then called, and asked to create an XPagesAVPage for each panel defined for the given control in the extension point.

It is STRONGLY advised that clients extend AbstractPanelsFactory rather than implementing this interface.
