Your annotations are correct. However, in the code snippet below you don’t show
what getSupportedTypes() returns. The generic ConfigurationFactory inspects all
the ConfigurationFactory plugins using the order to determine which should be
inspected first, second, etc. It calls getSupportedTypes to find out what file
extensions the ConfigurationFactory handles. If the provided configuration file
matches one of the file extensions than that factory will be used. “*” is used
as a wildcard to specify that it handles any file extension (which is what the
XMLConfigurationFactory does). However, with an Order of 10 if you specified a
“*” I believe your factory would have to handle XML, JSON and YAML
configurations.
I would suggest having getSupportedTypes return something like “.cfg” and then
having your configuration files end with .cfg.
