Class WMSFormatFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.geotools.data.wms.gce.WMSFormatFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Factory, GridFormatFactorySpi

public class WMSFormatFactory

extends java.lang.Object

implements GridFormatFactorySpi

Factory for the creation of a Format for use with WebMapServer.

The level of separation afforded a Factory implementation is not currently used, however we may need make use of this class to provide a specific WMSFormat for each version of the WMS Specification.
