false does not clearly indicate independent instances. Plain {@link FactoryBean} implementations which do not implementthis extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if their {@link #isSingleton()} implementation returnsfalse; the exposed object is only accessed on demand.
NOTE: This interface is a special purpose interface, mainly for internal use within the framework and within collaborating frameworks. In general, application-provided FactoryBeans should simply implement the plain {@link FactoryBean} interface. New methods might be addedto this extended interface even in point releases. @author Juergen Hoeller @since 2.0.3 @see #isPrototype() @see #isSingleton()
