Factory interface used to produce Jdbi extension objects.

/**
 * Factory interface used to produce Jdbi extension objects.
 */
public interface ExtensionFactory {
    
Params:
  • extensionType – the extension type
Returns:whether the factory can produce an extension of the given type
/**
     * @param extensionType the extension type
     *
     * @return whether the factory can produce an extension of the given type
     */

Params:
  • extensionType – the extension type.
  • handle –        Supplies the database handle. This supplier may lazily open a Handle on the first
                     invocation. Extension implementors should take care not to fetch the handle before it is
                     needed, to avoid opening handles unnecessarily.
Type parameters:
  • <E> – the extension type
Throws:

Returns:an extension of the given type, attached to the given handle.
