Class ReferenceFactory

Object
ReferenceFactory
public class ReferenceFactory extends Object
Creates reference (i.e. Providers that reference an existing object) of different types.

This is particularly useful to avoid referring to multiple identically named Reference classes in the same file, necessitating the use of the fully qualified class name.
