Interface InstantiableManager
- All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface InstantiableManager
This interface indicates, that a manager provides a static factory method to
get an instance of a manager in a simple way using the Java reflection API.
The template for such method looks like this:
public static Manager getManagerInstance(String[] params, String managerName) throws BaseLayerException {
return new Manager("");
}
All parameters that are required to correctly initialize the manager
must be passed on as a String array. By this, these values can be retrieve
easily from configuration files, e.g. Java Properties or JNDI.
Since this method needs to be static, it unfortunately cannot be enforced by
the means of Java interfaces. For this reason, the above mentioned contract
is expressed verbosely.
