| Configuring the Type of Template Factory for EGL programs | |
| </h1> | |
| <p> | |
| EGL provides the built-in TemplateFactory object for use in any EGL program. | |
| The TemplateFactory object is used to create, load and process EGL templates. | |
| By default, EGL will provide an instance of the EglFileGeneratingTemplateFactory | |
| as the built-in TemplateFactory object, which is able to generate text to the | |
| file system. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| To change the way in which templates are created, loaded or processed, a custom | |
| type of TemplateFactory can be used. For example, it might be desirable to perform | |
| some pre- or post-processing whenever a template is processed, or to construct | |
| templates capable of generating text to destinations other than the file system | |
| (e.g. a network socket or as a query to a database management system). | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| To change the type of template factory for this EGL program, select the desired template | |
| factory type from the combo box under the "Type of Template Factory" group of the | |
| "Generated Text" tab. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| You can define a custom templateFactoryType by providing a plug-in that contributes to the | |
| following extension point: | |
| <pre><code>org.eclipse.epsilon.egl.dt.templateFactoryType</code></pre> | |
