Would it be possible to add a method: void returnAndValidateObject(T obj) throws Exception
In general I was thinking of the following use case: Object o = pool.borrowObject(); try { ......... o.doStuff(); ......... pool.returnObject(o); } catch(Exception e) { // not sure what the cause is, let's make sure o is valid. pool.returnAndValidateObject(o); } the reason is that validation in general is an expensive operation, and enabling it all the time is inpractical. any thoughts ? --Zoltan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
