Interface SingletonStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:
PerThreadSingleton, SimpleSingleton

public interface SingletonStrategy

SingletonStrategy is an interface used to provide common factory access for the same object based on an implementation strategy for singleton. Right now there are two that accompany this interface: SimpleSingleton and PerThreadSingleton. This will replace previous usage of ThreadLocal to allow for alternate strategies.
