NAME

Bio::Factory::DriverFactory - Base class for factory classes loading drivers

SYNOPSIS

  #this class is not instantiable
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This a base class for factory classes that load drivers. Normally, you don't instantiate this class directly.

FEEDBACK

Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably
 to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

register_driver

  Title   : register_driver
  Usage   : $factory->register_driver("genscan", "Bio::Tools::Genscan");
  Function: Registers a driver a factory class should be able to instantiate.
 
            This method can be called both as an instance and as a class
            method.
 
  Returns : 
  Args    : Key of the driver (string) and the module implementing the driver
            (string).
 
 

driver_table

  Title   : driver_table
  Usage   : $table = $factory->driver_table();
  Function: Returns a reference to the hash table storing associations of
            methods with drivers.
 
            You use this table to look up registered methods (keys) and
            drivers (values).
 
            In this implementation the table is class-specific and therefore
            shared by all instances. You can override this in a derived class,
            but note that this method can be called both as an instance and a
            class method.
 
            This will be the table used by the object internally. You should
            definitely know what you're doing if you modify the table's
            contents. Modifications are shared by _all_ instances, those present
            and those yet to be created.
 
  Returns : A reference to a hash table.
  Args    :
 
 

get_driver

  Title   : get_driver
  Usage   : $module = $factory->get_driver("genscan");
  Function: Returns the module implementing a driver registered under the
            given key.
  Example : 
  Returns : A string.
  Args    : Key of the driver (string).
 
 

_load_module

  Title   : _load_module
  Usage   : $self->_load_module("Bio::Tools::Genscan");
  Function: Loads up (like use) a module at run time on demand.
  Example : 
  Returns : TRUE on success
  Args    :
