Interface CollectionFactoryIF

All Known Implementing Classes:
CollectionFactory, SynchronizedCollectionFactory
public interface CollectionFactoryIF
INTERNAL: Factory that creates collection objects.

Implementations should be made if it is necessary to work with customized collection classes. Classes that use a collection factory instead of creating collection objects itself, will be able to work with multiple collection implementations.
