Simplistically, a factory is an object generator that creates/returns objects of a specific type different than itself. It's essentially a wrapper for the desired object constructor, allowing the implementation of pooling or other schemes to control the distribution, lifetime, or whatever of the desired objects. This situation certainly seems to fit the bill. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
