<DT>public interface <B>DefinitionsFactory</B><DT>extends java.io.Serializable</DL>
<P>
Tiles Definition factory.
This interface replace old ComponentDefinitionsFactory.
Main method getDefinition() is exactly the same. Initialization method change.
This interface allows to retrieve a definition by its name, independently of
the factory implementation.
Object life cycle is as follow:
<ul>
<li>Constructor: create object</li>
<li>setConfig: set config and initialize factory. After first call to this
method, factory is operational.</li>
<li>destroy: factory is being shutdown.</li>
</ul>
Implementation must be Serializable, in order to be compliant with web Container
having this constraint (Weblogic 6.x).
