    Methods
    Type Params | Return Type | Name and description
    --- | --- | ---
    `` | `public boolean` | `isHandlesNodeChildren()` Does this factory "Own" its child closure. Returns: true if the factory should have onContentClosure() called, false if the builder should handle it
    `` | `public boolean` | `isLeaf()` Returns: true if no child closures should be processed
    `` | `public void` | `onFactoryRegistration(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, String registeredName, String group)` Called when a factory is registered to a builder Parameters: `builder` - the build the factory has been registered to `registeredName` - the name the factory has been registered under
    `` | `public boolean` | `onHandleNodeAttributes(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object node, Map attributes)` Parameters: `builder` - the FactoryBuilder `node` - the node (returned from newINstance) to consider the attributes for `attributes` - the attributes, a mutable set Returns: true if the factory builder should use standard bean property matching for the remaining attributes
    `` | `public boolean` | `onNodeChildren(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object node, Closure childContent)` Only called if it isLeaf is false and isHandlesNodeChildren is true Parameters: `builder` - the FactoryBuilder `node` - the node (returned from newINstance) to consider the attributes for `childContent` - the child content closure of the builder Returns: true if the factory builder should apply default node processing to the content child
    `` | `public void` | `onNodeCompleted(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object parent, Object node)` Parameters: `builder` - the FactoryBuilder `parent` - the parent node (null if 'root') `node` - the node just completed
    `` | `public void` | `setChild(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object parent, Object child)` Notifies the parent that a child node was created. Parameters: `builder` - the FactoryBuilder `parent` - the parent node, or `null` for the root `child` - the child node
    `` | `public void` | `setParent(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object parent, Object child)` Connects a child node to its parent. Parameters: `builder` - the FactoryBuilder `parent` - the parent node, or `null` for the root `child` - the child node

    - #### public boolean isHandlesNodeChildren()

      Does this factory "Own" its child closure.

      Returns:
        true if the factory should have onContentClosure() called, false if the builder should handle it

    - #### public boolean isLeaf()

      Returns:
        true if no child closures should be processed

    - #### public void onFactoryRegistration(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, String registeredName, String group)

      Called when a factory is registered to a builder

      Parameters:
        `builder` - the build the factory has been registered to
        `registeredName` - the name the factory has been registered under

    - #### public boolean onHandleNodeAttributes(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object node, Map attributes)

      Parameters:
        `builder` - the FactoryBuilder
        `node` - the node (returned from newINstance) to consider the attributes for
        `attributes` - the attributes, a mutable set
      Returns:
        true if the factory builder should use standard bean property matching for the remaining attributes

    - #### public boolean onNodeChildren(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object node, Closure childContent)

      Only called if it isLeaf is false and isHandlesNodeChildren is true

      Parameters:
        `builder` - the FactoryBuilder
        `node` - the node (returned from newINstance) to consider the attributes for
        `childContent` - the child content closure of the builder
      Returns:
        true if the factory builder should apply default node processing to the content child

    - #### public void onNodeCompleted(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object parent, Object node)

      Parameters:
        `builder` - the FactoryBuilder
        `parent` - the parent node (null if 'root')
        `node` - the node just completed

    - #### public void setChild(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object parent, Object child)

      Notifies the parent that a child node was created.

      Parameters:
        `builder` - the FactoryBuilder
        `parent` - the parent node, or `null` for the root
        `child` - the child node

    - #### public void setParent(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Object parent, Object child)

      Connects a child node to its parent.

      Parameters:
        `builder` - the FactoryBuilder
        `parent` - the parent node, or `null` for the root
        `child` - the child node
