The prototype and builder are still valid, and can still be used to create new instances. On builder.newInstance() the prototype state is copied to a new value object (one reason this needs to happen is because the prototype is mutable and the value isn't). > Is / should there be a reset / cancel operation on the builder to reset > values? > This takes us a bit to STM (Software transactional memory) ?? Reset can be done by calling .withPrototype() again on the builder. This resets the internal state and also invalidates the .prototype() previously retrieved. Calling .prototype() again will create a new prototype from the new state. /Rickard _______________________________________________ qi4j-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ops4j.org/mailman/listinfo/qi4j-dev
