21 * An interface defining life-cycle methods for
22 * instances to be served by a {@link KeyedObjectPool}.
23 * <p>
24 * By contract, when an {@link KeyedObjectPool}
25 * delegates to a {@link KeyedPoolableObjectFactory},
26 * <ol>
27 * <li>
28 * {@link #makeObject makeObject}
29 * is called whenever a new instance is needed.
30 * </li>
31 * <li>
32 * {@link #activateObject activateObject}
33 * is invoked on every instance that has been
34 * {@link #passivateObject passivated} before it is
35 * {@link KeyedObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
36 * </li>
37 * <li>
38 * {@link #validateObject validateObject}
39 * is invoked on {@link #activateObject activated} instances to make sure
40 * they can be {@link KeyedObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
41 * <code>validateObject</code> <strong>may</strong> also be used to test an
42 * instance being {@link KeyedObjectPool#returnObject returned} to the pool
43 * before it is {@link #passivateObject passivated}. It will only be invoked
44 * on an activated instance.
45 * </li>
46 * <li>
47 * {@link #passivateObject passivateObject}
48 * is invoked on every instance when it is returned to the pool.
49 * </li>
50 * <li>
51 * {@link #destroyObject destroyObject}
52 * is invoked on every instance when it is being "dropped" from the
53 * pool (whether due to the response from <code>validateObject</code>,
54 * or for reasons specific to the pool implementation.) There is no
55 * guarantee that the instance being destroyed will
56 * be considered active, passive or in a generally consistent state.

64 * at a time.
