Field Detail

factory

protected static DbConnectionFactory factory

A reference to the factory we set in Vaultduring initso we can destroy it in destroy.

Maybe there's a better way to do this then storing a reference? Should we just add a method to Vault?

This reference also serves as a flag to determine whether or not this class has been initialized yet. If it is null, the class has not yet been initialized.
