Eugen Paraschiv commented on DROIDS-126:
----------------------------------------
I'm aware that there have been other discussions about the usage of factories.
My hope is to get some feedback here and hopefully simplify this API, by:
1. introducing 2 new methods that do not go through the factory:
droid.getProtocol(uri);
droid.getParser(contentType);
2. not publishing the factory related API
3. removing the 2 factories altogether
> Bypass Protocol and Parser factories and make CrawlingWorker ask for it's
> collaborators directly

> The factory usage in CrawlingWorker and CrawlingDroids makes the API hard to
> use and breaks the Law of Demeter - instead of the worker asking for what it
> needs, it has to first ask for the factory and then retrieve it's
> collaborator from it:
> droid.getProtocolFactory().getProtocol(uri);
> droid.getParserFactory().getParser(contentType);
> This makes the API harder to use and introduces unnecessary complexity into
> the API.
