Class ApplicationFactory

    java.lang.Object
      javax.faces.application.ApplicationFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
  FacesWrapper<ApplicationFactory>

    public abstract class ApplicationFactory

extends Object
implements FacesWrapper<ApplicationFactory>

ApplicationFactory is a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns `Application` instances. Implementations of JavaServer Faces must provide at least a default implementation of `Application`.

There must be one `ApplicationFactory` instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:

       ApplicationFactory factory = (ApplicationFactory)
        FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);

Constructor Summary

`ApplicationFactory` | `getWrapped()` If this factory has been decorated, the implementation doing the decorating may override this method to provide access to the implementation being wrapped.
