AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean is abstract

I don't know why this is getting so much attention... the documentation makes it perfectly clear that it's just a "Convenient proxy factory bean superclass for proxy factory beans that create only singletons."

[themgt → mrspeaker]

What's the best practice for conveniently generating proxy factory bean superclasses? From my research it seems an abstract factory factory would be the appropriate design pattern, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel

You want an abstract factory factory factory.

I got annoyed by some of the daft names in Java, so I went through and found some of the worst offending method names. The longest method names I could find are "supportsDataDefinitionAndDataManipulationTransactions" (for Java Development Kit) and "setApplyWebRequestInterceptorsToRenderPhaseOnly (for Spring).

(see http://www.fatvat.co.uk/2011/05/method-names-in-java-develop...) for more details.

If you don't like long method names, stay away from Cocoa.

Did anyone else think this name was a joke at first?

I don't see the problem. This class is an abstract factory so yes it is abstract!
