Private constructor.

This constructor prevents the class from being instantiated.

Method Details

newAlgorithm

public static DiffXAlgorithm newAlgorithm(String className,
 EventSequence sequence1,
 EventSequence sequence2)
                                   throws FactoryException

Creates a Diff-X instance using the specified class name and event sequences.

Parameters:

className - The class name of the Diff-X algorithm implementation to use.

sequence1 - The first sequence to use for the Diff-X constructor.

sequence2 - The second sequence to use for the Diff-X constructor.

Returns:

A Diff-X algorithm instance.

Throws:

FactoryException - Should an error occur when trying to instantiate the class.
