* Add an object factory to this communicator. Installing a

*
* When unmarshaling an Ice object, the Ice run time reads the
* most-derived type id off the wire and attempts to create an
* instance of the type using a factory. If no instance is created,
* either because no factory was found, or because all factories
* returned nil, the behavior of the Ice run time depends on the
* format with which the object was marshaled:
*
* If the object uses the "sliced" format, Ice ascends the class
* hierarchy until it finds a type that is recognized by a factory,
* or it reaches the least-derived type. If no factory is found that
* can create an instance, the run time throws NoValueFactoryException.
*
* If the object uses the "compact" format, Ice immediately raises
* NoValueFactoryException.
*
* The following order is used to locate a factory for a type:
*
*
*
* - The Ice run-time looks for a factory registered
* specifically for the type.
*
* - If no instance has been created, the Ice run-time looks
* for the default factory, which is registered with an empty type id.
*
*
* - If no instance has been created by any of the preceding
* steps, the Ice run-time looks for a factory that may have been
* statically generated by the language mapping for non-abstract classes.
*
*
*
*
* @param factory The factory to add.
*
* @param id The type id for which the factory can create instances, or
