=head1 NAME

Bio::Factory::DriverFactory - Base class for factory classes loading drivers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #this class is not instantiable

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This a base class for factory classes that load drivers. Normally, you don't
instantiate this class directly.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this
and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably
 to one of the Bioperl mailing lists.
Your participation is much appreciated.

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head1 APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

=cut

#'
package Bio::Factory::DriverFactory;
use strict;
use File::Spec;

use vars qw(%DRIVERS);

use base qw(Bio::Root::Root);

BEGIN {
    %DRIVERS = ();
}

sub new {
    my ($class, @args) = @_;
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args);
    return $self;
}

=head2 register_driver

 Title   : register_driver
 Usage   : $factory->register_driver("genscan", "Bio::Tools::Genscan");
 Function: Registers a driver a factory class should be able to instantiate.

           This method can be called both as an instance and as a class
           method.

 Returns :
 Args    : Key of the driver (string) and the module implementing the driver
           (string).

=cut

sub register_driver {
    my ($self, @args) = @_;
    my %drivers = @args;

    foreach my $drv (keys(%drivers)) {
	# note that this doesn't care whether $self is the class or the object
	$self->driver_table()->{$drv} = $drivers{$drv};
    }
}

=head2 driver_table

 Title   : driver_table
 Usage   : $table = $factory->driver_table();
 Function: Returns a reference to the hash table storing associations of
           methods with drivers.

           You use this table to look up registered methods (keys) and
           drivers (values).

           In this implementation the table is class-specific and therefore
           shared by all instances. You can override this in a derived class,
           but note that this method can be called both as an instance and a
           class method.

           This will be the table used by the object internally. You should
           definitely know what you're doing if you modify the table's
           contents. Modifications are shared by _all_ instances, those present
           and those yet to be created.

 Returns : A reference to a hash table.
 Args    :


=cut

sub driver_table {
    my ($self, @args) = @_;

    return \%DRIVERS;
}

=head2 get_driver

 Title   : get_driver
 Usage   : $module = $factory->get_driver("genscan");
 Function: Returns the module implementing a driver registered under the
           given key.
 Example :
 Returns : A string.
 Args    : Key of the driver (string).

=cut

sub get_driver {
    my ($self, $key) = @_;

    if(exists($self->driver_table()->{$key})) {
	return $self->driver_table()->{$key};
    }
    return;
}

=head2 _load_module

 Title   : _load_module
 Usage   : $self->_load_module("Bio::Tools::Genscan");
 Function: Loads up (like use) a module at run time on demand.
 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success
 Args    :

=cut

sub _load_module {
    my ($self, $name) = @_;
    my ($module, $load, $m);
    $module = "_<$name.pm";
    return 1 if $main::{$module};
    $load = "$name.pm";

    $load = File::Spec->catfile((split(/::/,$load)));
    eval {
	require $load;
    };
    if ( $@ ) {
	$self->throw("$load: $name cannot be found: ".$@);
    }
    return 1;
}
