handlesFileImpl in class DefaultFileArtifactCreator

Parameters:

file - the file to be handled

Returns:

true if it handles file, false else

createArtifactInstance

public FileArtifact createArtifactInstance(java.lang.Object real,
                                           ArtifactModel model)
                                    throws VilException

Description copied from interface: IArtifactCreator

Returns the artifact instance for real.

createArtifactInstance in interface IArtifactCreator

Overrides:

createArtifactInstance in class DefaultFileArtifactCreator

Parameters:

real - the real world object

model - the artifact model to create the artifact within

Returns:

the instance or null if real cannot be handled

Throws:

VilException - in case that any instance creation problem occurs

getArtifactClass

public java.lang.Class<? extends IArtifact> getArtifactClass()

Description copied from interface: IArtifactCreator

The class of the artifact being created. Do not override this method for an existing creator if you plan to just replace an existing artifact! In that case subclass the respective creator and override only IArtifactCreator.createArtifactInstance(Object, ArtifactModel).

Overrides:

getArtifactClass in class DefaultFileArtifactCreator

Returns:

the class of the artifact being created
