loadInstance

public static ReplicaSelector loadInstance()
                                    throws ReplicaSelectorFactoryException

A no hassle factory method that loads the replica selector specified in the properties. The properties are obtained from the property singleton. A default replica selector is loaded if property is not specified in the properties.

Returns:

the instance of the class implementing this interface.

Throws:

ReplicaSelectorFactoryException - that chains any error that might occur during the instantiation

loadInstance

public static ReplicaSelector loadInstance(PegasusProperties properties)
                                    throws ReplicaSelectorFactoryException

Loads the implementing class corresponding to the mode specified by the user at runtime in the properties file. A default replica selector is loaded if property is not specified in the properties.

Parameters:

properties - the PegasusProperties object containing all the properties required by Pegasus.

Returns:

the instance of the class implementing this interface.

Throws:

ReplicaSelectorFactoryException - that chains any error that might occur during the instantiation

DEFAULT_PACKAGE_NAME, DEFAULT_REPLICA_SELECTOR

loadInstance

public static ReplicaSelector loadInstance(PegasusProperties properties,
                           String className)
                                    throws ReplicaSelectorFactoryException

Loads the implementing class corresponding to the class. If the package name is not specified with the class, then class is assumed to be in the DEFAULT_PACKAGE. The properties object passed should not be null.

Parameters:

className - the name of the class that implements the mode. It is the name of the class, not the complete name with package. That is added by itself.

properties - the PegasusProperties object containing all the properties required by Pegasus.

Returns:

the instance of the class implementing this interface.

Throws:

ReplicaSelectorFactoryException - that chains any error that might occur during the instantiation
