StepFactory

All Superinterfaces:

StepDelegate
```
public interface StepFactory
extends StepDelegate
```
StepFactorys are responsible for instantiating StepElements; the interface encapsulating the execution logic of a an SFC step.
To add a new type of step, you'll need to register a StepFactory with the GatewayStepRegistry.
