Remarks

The facade uses a shared stateless IBuilder<TStageEnum> instance configured with the strategies that perform the creation of objects in the Enterprise Library.

The strategies used by the EnterpriseLibraryFactory are:

• ConfigurationNameMappingStrategy to deal with default instances. -
• SingletonStrategy to deal with singletons. -
• ConfiguredObjectStrategy to perform the actual creation of the objects based on the available configuration. -
• InstrumentationStrategy to attach instrumentation to the created objects. -

The creation request can provide an IConfigurationSource to be used by the strategies that need access to configuration. If such a configuration source is not provided, a default configuration source will be requested to the ConfigurationSourceFactory. In any case, the configuration source is made available to the strategies through a transient IConfigurationObjectPolicy.

The facade keeps a shared ConfigurationReflectionCache that is made available to the strategies through a transient IReflectionCachePolicy.
