| /** |
| * Object pooling API. |
| * <p> |
| * The {@code org.apache.commons.pool3} package defines a simple interface for a pool of object instances, and a handful of base classes that may be useful |
| * when creating pool implementations. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * The {@code pool} package itself doesn't define a specific object pooling implementation, but rather a contract that implementations may support in order |
| * to be fully interchangeable. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * The {@code pool} package separates the way in which instances are pooled from the way in which they are created, resulting in a pair of interfaces: |
| * </p> |
| * <dl> |
| * <dt>{@link org.apache.commons.pool3.ObjectPool ObjectPool}</dt> |
| * <dd>defines a simple object pooling interface, with methods for borrowing instances from and returning them to the pool.</dd> |
| * <dt>{@link org.apache.commons.pool3.PooledObjectFactory PooledObjectFactory}</dt> |
| * <dd>defines lifecycle methods for object instances contained within a pool. By associating a factory with a pool, the pool can create new object instances as |
| * needed.</dd> |
| * </dl> |
| * <p> |
| * The {@code pool} package also provides a keyed pool interface, which pools instances of multiple types, accessed according to an arbitrary key. See |
| * {@link org.apache.commons.pool3.KeyedObjectPool KeyedObjectPool} and {@link org.apache.commons.pool3.KeyedPooledObjectFactory KeyedPooledObjectFactory}. |
| * </p> |
