This project was born out of a need to validate all POJOs (Plain Old Java Object) are behaving correctly. This project has two main aspects to it: * Make Testing as easy as possible. * Simplifying identity management (hashCode / equals) using annotation.

There is a newer version: 0.9.1

/**
 * This factory is responsible for generating the random values using the registered RandomGenerator(s). 

 * This Factory will automatically detect cyclic dependency and return null for the second time around.

 * 

 * Simple Example

 * If you have an Employee class that has the following constructor:
 *  * {@code
 * public Employee(final String fullName, final Employee manager) {
 *   ...
 * }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * And you created the random generator as follows:
 *  * {@code
 * public Object doGenerate(Class type) {
 *     return new Employee(RandomFactory.getRandomValue(String.class),
 *                          (Employee) RandomFactory.getRandomValue(Employee.class));
 * }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * This would potentially cause a stack over-flow since there is a cyclic dependency of Employee on itself. So to
 * prevent stack over-flow (which would occur by trying to create a manager for every manager), this Factory has built
 * in protection (using {@link GeneratedRandomValues}) to prevent such a thing by recording for a current recursive call
 * if it's seen this type before, if so, it will return null the second time around.
