public class FactoryExample
extends Object
An example illustrating the use of the class ExchangeFactory. An instance of ExchangeFactory contains an exchange rate table and at least one exchange group. Exchange groups can construct exchange objects which are used to perform currency conversions. When presented with a source/target currency pair the exchange factory searches its list of exchange groups until it finds one that can create an exchange object given the source/target pair and the factory's associated exchange rate table. If no group can create such an object an invalid object is returned by the factory.
