    019/**
    020 * An interface defining life-cycle methods for instances to be served by an
    021 * {@link ObjectPool}.
    022 * <p>
    023 * By contract, when an {@link ObjectPool} delegates to a
    024 * {@link PooledObjectFactory},
    025 * </p>
    026 * <ol>
    027 *  <li>
    028 *   {@link #makeObject} is called whenever a new instance is needed.
    029 *  </li>
    030 *  <li>
    031 *   {@link #activateObject} is invoked on every instance that has been
    032 *   {@link #passivateObject passivated} before it is
    033 *   {@link ObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed} from the pool.
    034 *  </li>
    035 *  <li>
    036 *   {@link #validateObject} may be invoked on {@link #activateObject activated}
    037 *   instances to make sure they can be {@link ObjectPool#borrowObject borrowed}
    038 *   from the pool. {@link #validateObject} may also be used to
    039 *   test an instance being {@link ObjectPool#returnObject returned} to the pool
    040 *   before it is {@link #passivateObject passivated}. It will only be invoked
    041 *   on an activated instance.
    042 *  </li>
    043 *  <li>
    044 *   {@link #passivateObject} is invoked on every instance when it is returned
    045 *   to the pool.
    046 *  </li>
    047 *  <li>
    048 *   {@link #destroyObject} is invoked on every instance when it is being
    049 *   "dropped" from the pool (whether due to the response from
    050 *   {@link #validateObject}, or for reasons specific to the pool
    051 *   implementation.) There is no guarantee that the instance being destroyed
    052 *   will be considered active, passive or in a generally consistent state.
    053 *  </li>
    054 * </ol>
    055 * {@link PooledObjectFactory} must be thread-safe. The only promise
    056 * an {@link ObjectPool} makes is that the same instance of an object will not
    057 * be passed to more than one method of a <code>PoolableObjectFactory</code>
    058 * at a time.
    059 * <p>
    060 * While clients of a {@link KeyedObjectPool} borrow and return instances of
    061 * the underlying value type {@code V}, the factory methods act on instances of
    062 * {@link PooledObject PooledObject&lt;V&gt;}.  These are the object wrappers that
    063 * pools use to track and maintain state information about the objects that
    064 * they manage.
    065 * </p>
    066 *
    067 * @param <T> Type of element managed in this factory.
