Class TopicMapTypeManager

java.lang.Object

org.wandora.topicmap.TopicMapTypeManager

public class TopicMapTypeManager
extends java.lang.Object

A class that manages all TopicMapTypes. In particular, has methods to get the TopicMapType of a specific class extending TopicMap or an instance of such a class.

Note that currently the getType methods have hard coded mapping for following topic map implementations: TopicMapImpl, RemoteTopicMap, DatabaseTopicMap and LayerStack. This means that there is no way to register new topic map implementations. In future this class should read or automatically detect all implementations.
