I'm using the Spring.Container in some refactoring and am looking for some clarification on the best way (and where - I'll post that separately don't want to confuse things) to set up the factories. I have done this elsewhere, but always where there was a distinct constructor for a type.

I'm using the Spring.Container in some refactoring and am looking for some clarification on the best way (and where - I'll post that separately don't want to confuse things) to set up the factories. I have done this elsewhere, but always where there was a distinct constructor for a type.

There is a single interface, let's call it IFileInfoDisplay (because that is what it is called). There are 3 type registrations along the lines of

container.RegisterType('basic');
container.RegisterType('history');
container.RegisterType('extended');

Each type takes the same constructor Create(aFileInfo: TFileInfo). TFileInfo is returned from a RemObjects server, hence not an interface.

So can I register the factory and call it with the discriminator

Container.resolve('history');

or do I need to register it for each type?

Thanks.
