Interface Factory

public interface Factory
Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that create objects.

A Factory creates an object without using an input parameter. If an input parameter is required, then Transformer is more appropriate.

Standard implementations of common factories are provided by FactoryUtils . These include factories that return a constant, a copy of a prototype or a new instance.
