| *<p> |
| * Object pooling API. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * The <code>org.apache.commons.pool</code> 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</code> 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</code> 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.pool.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.pool.PoolableObjectFactory PoolableObjectFactory}</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> |
| * {@link org.apache.commons.pool.ObjectPoolFactory ObjectPoolFactory} |
| * defines a simple factory for <code>ObjectPool</code>s, which may be |
| * useful for some applications. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * The <code>pool</code> package also provides a keyed pool interface, |
| * which pools instances of multiple types, accessed according to an |
| * arbitrary key. See |
| * {@link org.apache.commons.pool.KeyedObjectPool KeyedObjectPool}, |
| * {@link org.apache.commons.pool.KeyedPoolableObjectFactory KeyedPoolableObjectFactory}, |
| * and |
| * {@link org.apache.commons.pool.KeyedObjectPoolFactory KeyedObjectPoolFactory}. |
| * </p> |
