Interface IXMLSearchSourceFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AdhocInfoSearchSource, BrowseSearchSource, CompositeSearchSource, CurrentResultsSource, DatabaseStatisticsSource, DataCollectorSearchSource, FastSearchViewSource, FileSystemSearchSource, FlatFileSearchSource, HibernateSearchSourceFactory, OpenSearchSource, RecommendSearchSource, RequestSearchSource, SearchHistorySource, SelectedRecordsSearchSource, TaxonomyIDRollupSource, TreeSearchSource, XMLSearchSourceFactory

public interface IXMLSearchSourceFactory

Interface for a factory class that can create a SearchSource object from XML Configuration file.

Creates one or more SearchSource objects from a <SourceType> XML Tag.

Implementations of this class are instantiated by the XMLSearchFieldMapFactory which reads the Application Configuration XML and its SourceType tags. The correct instance of an IXmlSearchSourceFactory is determined from the "sourceFactoryClass" attribute.

  <SourceType name="[Source Name - unique within this source type]"
                 type="[Source Type]" 
                 displayName="[Source Name shown to users]"
                 sourceFactoryClass="[fully qualified class name of implementer of this interface]" 
                 queryProcessor="[fully qualified class name of implementer of source IQueryProcessor]" >

   <!-- SourceType - specific information -->

  </SourceType>
