 101 Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that create objects.
 102  <p>
 103  A <code>Factory</code> creates an object without using an input parameter.
 104  If an input parameter is required, then <A HREF="../../../../org/apache/commons/collections/Transformer.html" title="interface in org.apache.commons.collections"><CODE>Transformer</CODE></A> is more appropriate.

 106  Standard implementations of common factories are provided by

 108  a copy of a prototype or a new instance.
