/**
* This class provides a generic implementation of the lazy initialization pattern.
*
*
* Sometimes an application has to deal with an object only under certain circumstances, e.g. when the user selects a specific menu item or if a special event
* is received. If the creation of the object is costly or the consumption of memory or other system resources is significant, it may make sense to defer the
* creation of this object until it is really needed. This is a use case for the lazy initialization pattern.
*
*
* This abstract base class provides an implementation of the double-check idiom for an instance field as discussed in Joshua Bloch's "Effective Java", 2nd
* edition, item 71. The class already implements all necessary synchronization. A concrete subclass has to implement the {@code initialize()} method, which
* actually creates the wrapped data object.
*
*
* As an usage example consider that we have a class {@code ComplexObject} whose instantiation is a complex operation. In order to apply lazy initialization to
* this class, a subclass of {@link LazyInitializer} has to be created:
*
*
*
* public class ComplexObjectInitializer extends LazyInitializer<ComplexObject> {
* @Override
* protected ComplexObject initialize() {
* return new ComplexObject();
* }
* }
*
*
*
* Access to the data object is provided through the {@code get()} method. So, code that wants to obtain the {@code ComplexObject} instance would simply look
* like this:
*
*
*
* // Create an instance of the lazy initializer
* ComplexObjectInitializer initializer = new ComplexObjectInitializer();
* ...
* // When the object is actually needed:
* ComplexObject cobj = initializer.get();
*
*
*
* If multiple threads call the {@code get()} method when the object has not yet been created, they are blocked until initialization completes. The algorithm
* guarantees that only a single instance of the wrapped object class is created, which is passed to all callers. Once initialized, calls to the {@code get()}
* method are pretty fast because no synchronization is needed (only an access to a volatile member field).
*
*
* @since 3.0
* @param the type of the object managed by the initializer.
