    110  2. As seen above in (2) and (3), the class implementing the vendor data should include the method ''getInstantiable()''. `OFBasicVendorDataType`, is a container for an instantiator of a `OFVendorData` subclass. By allowing the custom class to provide it a format, `OFBasicVendorDataType` avoids making assumptions about the structure of the message payload.

The instantiator provides `OFBasicVendorDataType` with a format that allows it to avoid making assumptions about the structure of the vendor data. The method ''getInstantiable()'' returns an instantiator for the class.

    112 2. indicates that we also need a ''getInstantiable()'' in our vendor data. The following snippet was taken from `OFRoleRequestVendorData`, but the structure will pretty much be the same for any vendor data class (e.g. replace OFRoleRequestVendorData below with your class):
