The com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controlFactories extension point is used to declare control factories for use in the IBM Sales Center user interface. Control factories are responsible for interpreting control declarations and constructing new configured control instances.

Identifier:

com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controlFactories

Description:

The com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controlFactories extension point is used to declare control factories for use in the IBM Sales Center user interface. Control factories are responsible for interpreting control declarations and constructing new configured control instances.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension ( controlFactory+)>

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id CDATA #IMPLIED

name CDATA #IMPLIED>

• point - The fully qualified identifier of the target extension point.

• id - An optional identifier for the target extension point.

• name - An optional name for the extension instance.

This element is used to describe configured control factories.

• id - Unique identifier for this control factory declaration. Use this identifier to refer to this control factory.

• factoryClass - The factory class must have a default (no-argument) constructor, and must implement interface com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controls.IControlDescriptorFactory.

• controlType - Control type. Control declarations that specify this type will be delegated to this control factory. Refer to the type attribute of the com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controls extension point.

API Information:

Control factories must implement com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controls.IControlDescriptorFactory

and create concrete instances of classes that subclass com.ibm.commerce.telesales.widgets.controls.ControlDescriptor

.
