Interface ObjectPoolFactory

public interface ObjectPoolFactory

The ObjectPoolFactory defines an interface to create ObjectPool objects.

The implementing class should be aware of the corresponding PoolableObjectFactory without it no objects can be created. In addition, a recommendation for the implementing class would be to treat it as a singleton and to provide a static ObjectPoolFactory getInstance() method.
