/**
 * An interface defining life-cycle methods for
 * instances to be served by a {@link KeyedObjectPool}.
 * <p>
 * By contract, when an {@link KeyedObjectPool}
 * delegates to a {@link KeyedPooledObjectFactory},
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 *  <li>
 *   {@link #makeObject} is called whenever a new instance is needed.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   {@link #activateObject} is invoked on every instance that has been
 *   {@link #passivateObject passivated} before it is
 *   {@link KeyedObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   {@link #validateObject} may be invoked on {@link #activateObject activated}
 *   instances to make sure they can be
 *   {@link KeyedObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
 *   {@code validateObject} may also be used to test an
 *   instance being {@link KeyedObjectPool#returnObject returned} to the pool
 *   before it is {@link #passivateObject passivated}. It will only be invoked
 *   on an activated instance.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   {@link #passivateObject passivateObject}
 *   is invoked on every instance when it is returned to the pool.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   {@link #destroyObject destroyObject}
 *   is invoked on every instance when it is being "dropped" from the
 *   pool (whether due to the response from {@code validateObject},
 *   or for reasons specific to the pool implementation.) There is no
 *   guarantee that the instance being destroyed will
 *   be considered active, passive or in a generally consistent state.
 *  </li>
 * </ol>
 * {@link KeyedPooledObjectFactory} must be thread-safe. The only promise
 * an {@link KeyedObjectPool} makes is that the same instance of an object will
 * not be passed to more than one method of a
 * {@code KeyedPoolableObjectFactory} at a time.
 * <p>
 * While clients of a {@link KeyedObjectPool} borrow and return instances of
 * the underlying value type V, the factory methods act on instances of
 * {@link PooledObject PooledObject&lt;V&gt;}.  These are the object wrappers that
 * pools use to track and maintain state informations about the objects that
 * they manage.
