Class WeakObjectPool<T,​E extends java.lang.Throwable>


  • public abstract class WeakObjectPool<T,​E extends java.lang.Throwable>
    extends java.lang.Object
    Abstract base class for pooling objects. The two public methods are getObject() and (repool(Object). Objects are held through weak references so even objects that are not repooled are subject to garbage collection. Subclasses must implement the abstract createObject().

    Internally, the pool is stored in a java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque instance.
