Interface LocatorBuilder<A extends Annotation,B extends org.openqa.selenium.By>

Type Parameters:

A - source annotation

B - target By locator

All Known Implementing Classes:

JQueryLocatorBuilder

public interface LocatorBuilder<A extends Annotation,B extends org.openqa.selenium.By>

The implementations of this interface are responsible for converting custom locator annotation into custom By implementations.

If you want to implement your own locator annotations, you only have to create the annotation and marks it with LocatorBuilderClass. After that you add a new class implements this interface and convert your annotation to your By implementation.

LocatorBuilder won't be registered as spring bean at startup, but you can use the spring dependency injection features. If you want to get an instance, you only have to use following code:

 
 @Autowired
 private LocatorBuilderFactory locatorBuilderFactory;
 ...
 
 
 locatorBuilderFactory.get(JQueryLocatorBuilder.class);
