Issue 4660: Python mapping issue: ValueFactory                                                                                                                                                                      (python-ftf)
Source: AT&T (Dr. Duncan Grisby, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: 
The ValueFactory mapping is slightly unclear. I suggest the following
revised text for the third paragraph of section 1.3.10:

  For a given value type, the ValueFactory maps to a class instance
  with a __call__ method taking no arguments. When it is called, it
  returns a new instance of the value type. Initialiser operations of
  the value type map to methods of the factory object. The registry
  for value factories can be accessed using the standard ORB
  operations register_value_factory, unregister_value_factory, and
  lookup_value_factory. For value types without operations, a default
  factory is registered automatically.

Resolution: Accept the proposed changes
Revised Text: Add the following revised text for the third paragraph of section 1.3.10: 
For a given value type, the ValueFactory maps to a class instance with a __call__ method taking no arguments. When it is called, it returns a new instance of the value type. Initialiser operations of the value type map to methods of the factory object. The registry for value factories can be accessed using the standard ORB operations register_value_factory, unregister_value_factory, and lookup_value_factory. For value types without operations, a default factory is registered automatically.
