All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Factory

@Deprecated(since="2021-04-30")
public class InstantiateFactory
extends Object
implements Factory, Serializable

Deprecated.

Commons Collections 3 is in maintenance mode. Commons Collections 4 should be used instead.

Factory implementation that creates a new object instance by reflection.

WARNING: from v3.2.2 onwards this class will throw an UnsupportedOperationException when trying to serialize or de-serialize an instance to prevent potential remote code execution exploits.

In order to re-enable serialization support for InstantiateTransformer the following system property can be used (via -Dproperty=true):

  org.apache.commons.collections.enableUnsafeSerialization
  

Since:

Commons Collections 3.0
