public final class CompositeFactory extends AbstractCompositeFactory<CompositeFactory,Composite>
This class provides a convenient shorthand for creating and initializing Composite. This offers several benefits over creating Composite normal way:
  • The same factory can be used many times to create several Composite instances
  • The setters on CompositeFactory all return "this", allowing them to be chained
