create a file named jfm$335.$properties with a single line:

validateuserstrategy.property$=$

where is the fully qualified implementation class $($i$.$e$.$ edu.jfm$.[$StrictValidateUserStrategy $|$ ModerateValidateUserStrategy $|$ NullValidateUserStrategy$].$

The Factory $($call it ValidateUserFactory$)$ should read in this property file, create an instance of an object of the classname type it reads in$,$ and will return that to the caller $($the main body of JFM$)$

If the Factory fails to create a strategy object from the properties file $$ due to an error $($e$.$g$.$ cannot find the property file$)$ or any other reason, have it choose the most appropriate implementation class from #$2$ above to use as a default $($which one is based on one of your security architecture principles, review!$)$
