/**
* 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 PoolableObjectFactory},
*
* -
* {@link #makeObject makeObject}
* is called whenever a new instance is needed.
*
* -
* {@link #activateObject activateObject}
* is invoked on every instance that has been
* {@link #passivateObject passivated} before it is
* {@link ObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
*
* -
* {@link #validateObject validateObject}
* is invoked on {@link #activateObject activated} instances to make sure
* they can be {@link ObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
*
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 passivateObject}
* is invoked on every instance when it is returned to the pool.
*
* -
* {@link #destroyObject destroyObject}
* is invoked on every instance when it is being "dropped" from the
* pool (whether due to the response from
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 PoolableObjectFactory} 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.
*
*
* @param the type of objects held in this pool
