Detailed Description

Abstract class representing a family of components i.e. a factory of factories of components.

This class must be used when introducing a new family of components inside ARCS. To implement a new family following this guideline, you should have a header like this :

#ifndef __MYFAMILY_H__
#define __MYFAMILY_H__
#include <arcs/arcsabstractfamily.h>

 class MyFamily : public ARCSAbstractFamily
 {
  public:
   MyFamily();
   virtual ~MyFamily();

   virtual QStringList factoryList();
   virtual bool addFactory(QString type, ARCSAbstractComponent* cmp);
   virtual bool removeFactory(QString type);
   virtual ARCSAbstractComponent* instanciante(QString type);
   virtual void destroy(ARCSAbstractComponent* component);
   virtual QString name() const;
 };
#endif //__MYFAMILY__
