Interface RecyclableTypeFactory<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the instances being served by the factory.

All Superinterfaces:

org.refcodes.collection.Clearable, TypeFactory<T>, TypeRecyclable<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRecyclableTypeFactory

public interface RecyclableTypeFactory<T>
extends TypeFactory<T>, TypeRecyclable<T>

The RecyclableTypeFactory is a TypeFactory providing recycling support for instances as being created by the RecyclableTypeFactoryTypeFactory.toInstance() (or TypeFactory.toInstance(Properties). This is achieved by implementing the TypeRecyclable interface. Invoking the TypeRecyclable.recycleInstance(Object) method makes the passed instance available to the RecyclableTypeFactory for reusing: Instances passed back may be served (reused) again via the methods RecyclableTypeFactoryTypeFactory.toInstance() (or TypeFactory.toInstance(Properties).
