| Generic Object pooling API with several implementations. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The <code>org.apache.commons.pool2</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. |
| The API supports pooling of unique objects which can be requested |
| via a key as well as pools where all objects are equivalent. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The <code>org.apache.commons.pool2.impl</code> package contains |
| several pool implementations. |
| {@link org.apache.commons.pool2.impl.GenericObjectPool |
| GenericObjectPool} has many configuration options and can support |
| a limited set of objects such as would be useful in a database |
| connection pool. |
| {@link org.apache.commons.pool2.impl.SoftReferenceObjectPool |
| SoftReferenceObjectPool} has no limit on the number of objects in the |
| pool, but the garbage collector can remove idle objects from the pool |
| as needed. There is also a keyed version of |
| {@link org.apache.commons.pool2.impl.GenericObjectPool |
| GenericObjectPool}, |
| {@link org.apache.commons.pool2.impl.GenericKeyedObjectPool |
| GenericKeyedObjectPool} |
