> Allow for simpler extending of EvictionConfig for use with custom

> Key: POOL-293
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/POOL-293
> Project: Commons Pool
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Reporter: Nick Johnson
> Priority: Minor
>
> Presently, EvictionConfig contains just three items of configuration: the
> minEvictableIdleTimeMillis, softMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis, and minIdle. In
> the case of GenericObjectPool, these are set inside the evict() method and
> passed along to the evictionPolicy.evict method. The evictionPolicy cannot
> be set directly, but rather is only instantiated by specifying a class name.
> The evictionPolicy also cannot be read in a subclass.
> Consequently if it is desired to pass along some additional parameter to the
> evictionPolicy, it has to either be a constant or a static variable applying
> to every instance of the policy. It isn't possible to easily pass it along
> using a subclass of EvictionConfig because it's being created inside evict(),
> and because there isn't a way to get a handle to the EvictionPolicy once it's
> created, it also can't be set on the policy after the fact.
> It would be nice if BaseGenericObjectPool#getEvictionPolicy() were protected
> instead of default security so that a subclass could invoke a setter on the
> evictionPolicy instance to configure it, or if GenericObjectPool#evict could
> call a protected method like createEvictionConfigInstance(...), so that a
> subclass could provide a custom EvictionConfig instance containing the
> additional configuration for a subclassed EvictionPolicy to use.
