Instance Method Details

#any(factory_name) ⇒ Object

Create or return an instance of the specified factory. If this method has been called previously with the same factory name, then the previously created instance will be returned. Otherwise a new instance will be created using all the default factory settings and stored until clear_instances is called.

      @any_instances[factory_name] = instance
    end

#clear_instances ⇒ Object
