Method Detail

create

Service create()

Creates a service object.

Returns:

service object

equals

boolean equals(@Nullable
               java.lang.Object o)

Indicates whether some other object is equal to this factory. This method must obey the general contract of Object.equals(Object). Additionally, this method can return true only if the specified object is also a factory and it creates instances the same way as this factory.

Note: that it is always safe not to override Object.equals(Object). However, overriding this method may, in some cases, improve performance by allowing programs to determine that two distinct factories work the same way.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - the reference object with which to compare

Returns:

true only if the specified object is also a factory and it creates instances the same way as this factory
