A "keyed" pooling interface.


A keyed pool maintains a pool of instances for each key value.




Example of use:



 Object obj = null;
Object key = "Key";
try {
    obj = pool.borrowObject(key);
    //...use the object...
} catch(Exception e) {
    // invalidate the object
    pool.invalidateObject(key, obj);
    // do not return the object to the pool twice
    obj = null;
} finally {
    // make sure the object is returned to the pool
    if(null != obj) {
        pool.returnObject(key, obj);
    }
}


 KeyedObjectPool implementations may choose to store at most one instance per key value, or may choose to maintain a pool of instances for each key (essentially creating a Map of pools). 


 See 
GenericKeyedObjectPool for an implementation. 


Type parameters:
  • <K> – The type of keys maintained by this pool.
  • <V> – Type of element pooled in this pool.

Obtains an instance from this pool for the specified key.

 Instances returned from this method will have been either newly created with makeObject or will be a previously idle object and have been activated with activateObject and then (optionally) validated with validateObject. 



By contract, clients must return the borrowed object using returnObject, invalidateObject, or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface, using a key that is equivalent to the one used to borrow the instance in the first place. 



The behaviour of this method when the pool has been exhausted is not
strictly specified (although it may be specified by implementations).



Params:
  • key – the key used to obtain the object
Throws:

Return an instance to the pool. By contract, obj
must have been obtained using borrowObject or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface using a key that is
equivalent to the one used to borrow the instance in the first place.

Params:
  • key – the key used to obtain the object

Throws:

Invalidates an object from the pool.


By contract, obj must have been obtained using borrowObject or a related method as defined in an implementation or sub-interface using a key that is
equivalent to the one used to borrow the Object in the first
place.




This method should be used when an object that has been borrowed is
determined (due to an exception or other problem) to be invalid.
