             Summary: Make BXMLSerializer more extendable
                 Key: PIVOT-886
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-886
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Karel Hübl
            Priority: Minor


If I want to extend BXMLSerializer, I need also to change static MimeTypes map on BXMLSerializer:

For example:

public class InjectingSerializer extends BXMLSerializer {

	static {
		BXMLSerializer.getMimeTypes().put(MIME_TYPE, InjectingSerializer.class);
	}
...

May be the MimeTypes map should be instance variable and implicit mapping of MIME_TYPE should be this.getClass(), so one does not need to change mapping of MimeTypes when extending BXMLSerializer.

May be implementation of AbstractFactory pattern for Pivot serializer should be considered.
