39 | * A ParameterProviderFactory is responsible for instantiating a ParameterProvider | |
40 | * for a given environment. Implementations know what concrete environment they expect and what | |
41 | * concrete type of ParameterProvider they generate. The "environment" is likely to be | |
42 | * an HttpServletRequest, but could also be a WorkItemContext, for instance. | |
43 | * | |
44 | * The ParameterProviderFactory must also ensure the parameter has appropriate | |
45 | * equals() and hashCode() methods: the parameter is used as part of a key of a | |
46 | * blocking map to avoid generating the same image multiple times. | |
47 | * | |
48 | * TODO -- verify, validate, fix the following : | |
49 | * TODO -- The type of context basically depends on the caller. In most cases, the context (C) | |
50 | * TODO -- will be an HttpServletRequest or a Magnolia Context instance. | |
51 | * TODO -- Since the ParameterProviderFactory is provided by | |
52 | * TODO -- the ImageGenerator, this might means that a particular ImageGenerator is tied | |
53 | * TODO -- to a specific context. | |
