Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ashutosh Aman (ashutoshaman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: using a different DocumentFactory Initial Comment: Its not exactly a bug. I am using a Factory of Factory pattern to integrate various XML models available in the market, which will give flexibility to the user to switch between different models, depending on the requirement, by changing the document factory system property. In this regard, I tried to set the System property to a different Document Factory (in the case of Dom4j, I extended the dom4j DocumentFactory and implemented the inhouse Factory: someFactory interface). I wanted to leverage the singleton framework of the DocumentFactory, but it did not work as getInnstance casts the object to a DocumentFactory and returns a DocumentFactory. I had to duplicate the work of making the extended factory a singleton class as I could not leverage the existing DocumentFactory getInstance() method. will it make sense to to provide two flavors of getInstance methods, second one would return an Object, so that extened classes can reuse it.
