/**
* An interface defining life-cycle methods for instances to be served by an
* {@link ObjectPool}.
*
* By contract, when an {@link ObjectPool} delegates to a
* {@link PooledObjectFactory},
*
* -
* {@link #makeObject} is called whenever a new instance is needed.
*
* -
* {@link #activateObject} is invoked on every instance that has been
* {@link #passivateObject passivated} before it is
* {@link ObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
*
* -
* {@link #validateObject} may be invoked on {@link #activateObject activated}
* instances to make sure they can be {@link ObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed}
* from the pool. {@link #validateObject} may also be used to
* test an instance being {@link ObjectPool#returnObject returned} to the pool
* before it is {@link #passivateObject passivated}. It will only be invoked
* on an activated instance.
*
* -
* {@link #passivateObject} is invoked on every instance when it is returned
* to the pool.
*
* -
* {@link #destroyObject} is invoked on every instance when it is being
* "dropped" from the pool (whether due to the response from
* {@link #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.
*
*
* {@link PooledObjectFactory} must be thread-safe. The only promise
* an {@link ObjectPool} makes is that the same instance of an object will not
* be passed to more than one method of a PoolableObjectFactory
* at a time.
*
* While clients of a {@link KeyedObjectPool} borrow and return instances of
* the underlying value type {@code V}, the factory methods act on instances of
* {@link PooledObject PooledObject<V>}. These are the object wrappers that
* pools use to track and maintain state information about the objects that
* they manage.
*
* @param Type of element managed in this factory.
*
* @see ObjectPool

* @since 2.0
