All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Factory

@Deprecated(since="2021-04-30") public class InstantiateFactory extends Object implements Factory, Serializable
Deprecated.
Apache Commons Collections version 3.x is being deprecated from AEMaaCS. The upgraded version 4.4 of Commons Collections is already included as replacement. Customers are advised to upgrade to this version of the library. Please note: the package name was changed to org.apache.commons.collections4. Further note that there are AEM APIs currently exposing the old collections classes; these will be updated in upcoming releases.
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
