----------------------------------
Summary: Extract NodeFactory.
Key: JENA-398
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-398
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Jena
Reporter: Andy Seaborne
One core feature of Jena is that Node and Triple are universal. A node or
triple (or quad) from one subsystem can be passed to another system.
Currently graph-level Nodes are their own factory - there are a bunch of
Node.create* statics.
This is a proposal to have a NodeFactory. This will given us more design
freedom should we wish to introduce interfaces although given that nodes are
universal (and, for the most part, simple) the need to use interfaces is not so
significant.
I propose (using the wonders of Eclipse) extracting the statics to create
NodeFactory, leaving deprecated placeholders. The refactoring of the rest of
the codebase will happen automatically.
This should break nothing, not even external code using Node directly
There is already is a "com.hp.hpl.jena.sparql.util.NodeFactory" - this needs
sorting out as well.
