FEEDBACK

Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = Bio::DB::Persistent::PersistentObjectFactory->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::DB::Persistent::PersistentObjectFactory object 
Returns : an instance of Bio::DB::Persistent::PersistentObjectFactory
Args    : Named parameters, specifically
            -type     the type (class name) of the objects to be created,
                      apart from them being persistent objects
            -adaptor  the persistence adaptor for the newly created objects
                      (a Bio::DB::PersistenceAdaptorI compliant object)

object_type

Title   : object_type
Usage   : $obj->object_type($newval)
Function: Get/set the type of the objects to be created by the factory, 
          apart from them being persistent objects. The type is essentially
          the class name.
Example : 
Returns : value of object_type (a scalar)
Args    : new value (a scalar, optional)

persistence_adaptor

Title   : persistence_adaptor
Usage   : $obj->persistence_adaptor($newval)
Function: Get/set the persistence adaptor for the desired object type. If
          not set, the adaptor for the created persistent objects needs to
          be set explicitly after creation before persistence methods can be
          called on it.
Example : 
Returns : a Bio::DB::PersistenceAdaptorI implementing object
Args    : new value (a Bio::DB::PersistenceAdaptorI implementing object, 
          optional)

Methods to implement Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI

create_object

Title   : create_object
Usage   :
Function: Creates a new object and returns it (like new() on a class name).
Example :
Returns : a new object (which will also implement Bio::DB::PersistentObjectI)
Args    : an array of named parameters to be passed to the class''s new()
