Interface FeatureRealizer
- All Known Implementing Classes:
SimpleFeatureRealizer
public interface FeatureRealizer
Interface for translators which map from Feature.Template
instances to real Feature objects. NOTE
this interface is intended for use primarily by Sequence
implementors. Normal users can generally ignore it.
There is no requirement that Sequence implementations use FeatureRealizers to construct their features, but common implementations such as SimpleSequence and ViewSequence do.
