public interface RecorderElementFactory

A factory for creating recorder elements. This class is needed, because different concrete instances of recorder elements can be created, e.g. those collecting information on the contributing variants, with debug states, etc.

Parameters:

conf - the configuration of the recorder element

forceDefaultInstances - if true do only create the default instances, otherways also those collecting contributing variants can be created

Returns:

the created instance

1.00

isOk

boolean isOk(RecorderElement element,
             MonitoringGroupConfiguration conf)

Returns if the given element is adequate (e.g. supports debugging) or if a new instance must be created and information must be taken over. This method is relevant, as instances may be created before the annotated class is loaded, e.g. during automated variant detection.

Parameters:

element - the element to be tested

conf - the configuration associated with element

Returns:

true if the instance is adequate, false if element must be revised
