FactoryObjectImplementation (ProCAKE Framework 4.0.0 API)

```
public abstract class FactoryObjectImplementation
extends Object
```
Each implementation of a factory object must extend this class. The interface is used to be able to initialize the implementation.
The initialization is done by the CompositionManager in three steps:
- The preInit method is called with the initialization parameters for all implementations.
- The implementation is bind to the factory.
- The postInit method is called after all implementations are bind. The implementation can now establish connections to other Factories.

public FactoryObjectImplementation()
```
- Method Detail
  - preInit
```
public abstract void preInit(AbstractParameter[] parameter)
```
    Called directly after creating the implementation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parameter - The parameters to initialize the implementation.
  - postInit
```
public abstract void postInit()
```
    Called after all factories are initialized with preInit(AbstractParameter[]) and bind to the factory.
  - getParameters
```
public abstract List<Parameter> getParameters()
```
    Returns:
    
    Returns a list of available parameters in the implementation. This method can be called without initialization and is never null.
  - getParameter
```
public Parameter getParameter(String name)
```
    Parameters:
    
    name - The name of the parameter to retrieve.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the parameter of the implementation with the given name. Returns null if no such operator exists.

    getParameters()
  - initParametersBasedOn
```
protected void initParametersBasedOn(FactoryObjectImplementation base)
```
    Initializes parameters of this implementation object based on a given base implementation
    
    Parameters:
    
    base - The implementation to base on.
