Package org.optaplanner.core.impl.score.director

Interface ScoreDirectorFactoryService<Solution_,Score_ extends Score<Score_>>

Type Parameters:

Solution_ - the solution type, the class with the PlanningSolution annotation

Score_ - the score type to go with the solution

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDrlScoreDirectorFactoryService, DrlScoreDirectorFactoryService, EasyScoreDirectorFactoryService, IncrementalScoreDirectorFactoryService, TestGenDrlScoreDirectorFactoryService

public interface ScoreDirectorFactoryService<Solution_,Score_ extends Score<Score_>>

All ScoreDirectorFactory implementations must provide an implementation of this interface, as well as an entry in META-INF/services/org.optaplanner.core.impl.score.director.ScoreDirectorFactoryService file. This makes it available for discovery in ScoreDirectorFactoryFactory via ServiceLoader.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Supplier<AbstractScoreDirectorFactory<Solution_,Score_>>	buildScoreDirectorFactory(ClassLoader classLoader, SolutionDescriptor<Solution_> solutionDescriptor, ScoreDirectorFactoryConfig config)	Returns a Supplier which returns new instance of a score director defined by getSupportedScoreDirectorType().
ScoreDirectorType	getSupportedScoreDirectorType()

Method Detail

getSupportedScoreDirectorType

ScoreDirectorType getSupportedScoreDirectorType()

Returns:

never null, the score director type that is implemented by the factory

buildScoreDirectorFactory

Supplier<AbstractScoreDirectorFactory<Solution_,Score_>> buildScoreDirectorFactory(ClassLoader classLoader,
                                                                                         SolutionDescriptor<Solution_> solutionDescriptor,
                                                                                         ScoreDirectorFactoryConfig config)

Returns a Supplier which returns new instance of a score director defined by getSupportedScoreDirectorType(). This is done so that the actual factory is only instantiated after all the configuration fail-fasts have been performed.

Parameters:

classLoader -

solutionDescriptor - never null, solution descriptor provided by the solver

config - never null, configuration to use for instantiating the factory

Returns:

null when this type is not configured

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the configuration has an issue
