Package Documentation for org.apache.commons.pool
Object pooling API.
The org.apache.commons.pool package defines a simple
interface for a pool of object instances, and a handful of base
classes that may be useful when creating pool implementations.
The pool package itself doesn't define a specific object
pooling implementation, but rather a contract that implementations may
support in order to be fully interchangeable.
The pool package separates the way in which instances are
pooled from the way in which they are created, resulting in a pair of
interfaces:
- {@link org.apache.commons.pool.ObjectPool ObjectPool}
-
defines a simple object pooling interface, with methods for
borrowing instances from and returning them to the pool.
- {@link org.apache.commons.pool.PoolableObjectFactory PoolableObjectFactory}
-
defines lifecycle methods for object instances contained within a pool.
By associating a factory with a pool, the pool can create new object
instances as needed.
{@link org.apache.commons.pool.ObjectPoolFactory ObjectPoolFactory}
defines a simple factory for ObjectPools, which may be
useful for some applications.
The pool package also provides a keyed pool interface,
which pools instances of multiple types, accessed according to an
arbitrary key. See
{@link org.apache.commons.pool.KeyedObjectPool KeyedObjectPool},
{@link org.apache.commons.pool.KeyedPoolableObjectFactory KeyedPoolableObjectFactory},
and
{@link org.apache.commons.pool.KeyedObjectPoolFactory KeyedObjectPoolFactory}.
