Method Detail

newInstance

ProxyMap newInstance(Class keyType,
                     Class valueType,
                     Comparator compare,
                     boolean trackChanges,
                     OpenJPAConfiguration conf)

This method should return a new proxy of the same concrete type as the implementing class. Used by the ProxyManager factories: one template instance of each type is created for the purpose of producing new instances via this method. Overcomes the performance penalties of reflection.
