Gary Gregory commented on POOL-183:
-----------------------------------

Also, the pool could track from which factory it was made.

>             Project: Commons Pool
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 2.0
>            Reporter: Zoltan Farkas
>            Priority: Minor

> Would it be possible to add a method:
> void returnAndValidateObject(T obj) throws Exception
> In general I was thinking of the following use case:
> Object o = pool.borrowObject();
> try
> {
>     .........
>     o.doStuff();
>     .........
>     pool.returnObject(o);
> }
> catch(Exception e)
> {
>     // not sure what the cause is, let's make sure o is valid.
>     pool.returnAndValidateObject(o);
> }
> the reason is that validation in general is an expensive operation, and enabling 
> it all the time is inpractical.
> any thoughts ?
