Method Detail

create

public java.lang.Object create(java.lang.Object key)
                        throws java.lang.InterruptedException

Create an object that is mapped by the given key. This method must be thread-safe, but simply making it synchronized may severely impact the Depot's support of concurrent activity.

Create may abort its operation by throwing an InterruptedException. This forces an invalid object to be used or null if none. If an InterruptedException is thrown, nether the invalid object or null will be cached. Null is cached only if the factory returns it directly.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - explicitly throwing this exception allows the factory to abort creating an object.
