import java.util.WeakHashMap;

/**
 * A simple implementation of {@link SingletonFactory}.
 * 
 * 
 * A {@link WeakHashMap} is used as the underlying store. This ensures that if the input class 
 * instance become otherwise unused (weakly reachable), the input class instance key used 
 * within the factory will not prevent the input class instance from being garbage-collected,
 * thereby preventing a memory leak.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * NOTE: If the output class instance holds a strong or soft reference to the input class,
 * do not use this factory.  See instead {@link AbstractWrappedSingletonFactory}. Usage of this
 * class in that scenario will result in a memory leak, as the input class instance will never
 * become weakly reachable and therefore never garbage collected.
 * 
 *

 * @param  the factory input class type
