Uses of Factory in org.apache.commons.collections4

Methods in org.apache.commons.collections4 that return Factory

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static <T> Factory<T>	FactoryUtils.constantFactory(T constantToReturn) Creates a Factory that will return the same object each time the factory is used.
static <T> Factory<T>	FactoryUtils.exceptionFactory() Gets a Factory that always throws an exception.
static <T> Factory<T>	FactoryUtils.instantiateFactory(Class<T> classToInstantiate) Creates a Factory that can create objects of a specific type using a no-args constructor.
static <T> Factory<T>	FactoryUtils.instantiateFactory(Class<T> classToInstantiate, Class<?>[] paramTypes, Object[] args) Creates a Factory that can create objects of a specific type using the arguments specified to this method.
static <T> Factory<T>	FactoryUtils.nullFactory() Gets a Factory that will return null each time the factory is used.
static <T> Factory<T>	FactoryUtils.prototypeFactory(T prototype) Creates a Factory that will return a clone of the same prototype object each time the factory is used.
