Class AbstractSimpleSingletonFactory<Input,Output>

java.lang.Object

org.opensaml.xml.util.AbstractSingletonFactory<Input,Output>

org.opensaml.xml.util.AbstractSimpleSingletonFactory<Input,Output>

Type Parameters:

Input - the factory input class type

Output - the factory output class type

All Implemented Interfaces:

SingletonFactory<Input,Output>

public abstract class AbstractSimpleSingletonFactory<Input,Output>
extends AbstractSingletonFactory<Input,Output>

A simple implementation of SingletonFactory.

A 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 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.
