Interface ContextResultURIConverterFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArchivalUrlContextResultURIConverterFactory, ArchivalUrlResultURIConverterFactory, IdentityResultURIConverterFactory

public interface ContextResultURIConverterFactory

Abstracts creation of specialized ResultURIConverters based on particular flags.

Currently ContextResultURIConverterFactory is used in two different contexts, and it receives critically different information as flags argument for each context.

1. customizing the way parent request handler builds ResultURIConverter for each of its children - receives replayURIPrefix as flags. (AccessPointAdapter)
2. passing requested resource type (often called flags) information to ReplayParseContext - receives resource type (such as "cs_") as flags. (ArchivalUrlSAXRewriteReplayRenderer and ArchivalURLJSStringTransformerReplayRenderer).

Using single interface in semantically different contexts leads to a lot of confusion and awkward code. Redesign is highly desired. Current plan is to do away with usage 2, and design better interface for usage 1.
