Method Detail

create

T create()

Creates or obtains an instance of type T based on the rules of this Factory. Most callers will want to assume that this method returns a non-null instance that cannot have any side-effects on the instances returned from subsequent calls to this method. In practical terms, that means a constant instance can only be returned for immutable types, else each call should create a new instance.
