JXTA in a Nutshell

IDFactory

Synopsis

The IDFactory class creates different types of IDs. The static methods of this class create known types of IDs (codat IDs, pipe IDs, etc.). The fromURL( ) method creates these IDs based on the protocol that is associated with each ID.

If you want to create a new type of ID, you must provide a subclass of the ID class and use the registerIDType( ) method so that instances of the ID are known to the factory. You can then use the fromURL( ) method to create instances of the newly defined ID.
