public interface RepresentationRestorer

This class handles restoration from representation for classes which cannot do this themselves due to lack of information.

For example, a Group handles restoration of its group elements. This way the group does not have to explicitly be stored in each group element instance.

                                           Representation repr)
                                    throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Takes a representation and creates an object of the given type from it if the type is supported by the restorer.

Parameters:

type - tells the restorer which type the restored object should have

repr - the representation to restore the object from

Returns:

the restored object

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the restorer is unable to handle the given type
