/**
* <p>Implementation of <code>Hashtable</code> that uses <code>WeakReference</code>'s
* to hold its keys thus allowing them to be reclaimed by the garbage collector.
* The associated values are retained using strong references.</p>
*
* <p>This class follows the symantics of <code>Hashtable</code> as closely as
* possible. It therefore does not accept null values or keys.</p>
*
* <p><strong>Note:</strong>
* This is <em>not</em> intended to be a general purpose hash table replacement.
* This implementation is also tuned towards a particular purpose: for use as a replacement
* for <code>Hashtable</code> in <code>LogFactory</code>. This application requires
* good liveliness for <code>get</code> and <code>put</code>. Various tradeoffs
* have been made with this in mind.
* </p>
* <p>
* <strong>Usage:</strong> typical use case is as a drop-in replacement
* for the <code>Hashtable</code> used in <code>LogFactory</code> for J2EE enviroments
* running 1.3+ JVMs. Use of this class <i>in most cases</i> (see below) will
* allow classloaders to be collected by the garbage collector without the need
* to call {@link org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory#release(ClassLoader) LogFactory.release(ClassLoader)}.
* </p>
*
* <p><code>org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code> checks whether this class
* can be supported by the current JVM, and if so then uses it to store
* references to the <code>LogFactory</code> implementationd it loads
* (rather than using a standard Hashtable instance).
* Having this class used instead of <code>Hashtable</code> solves
* certain issues related to dynamic reloading of applications in J2EE-style
* environments. However this class requires java 1.3 or later (due to its use
* of <code>java.lang.ref.WeakReference</code> and associates).
* And by the way, this extends <code>Hashtable</code> rather than <code>HashMap</code>
* for backwards compatibility reasons. See the documentation
* for method <code>LogFactory.createFactoryStore</code> for more details.</p>
*
* <p>The reason all this is necessary is due to a issue which
* arises during hot deploy in a J2EE-like containers.
* Each component running in the container owns one or more classloaders; when
* the component loads a LogFactory instance via the component classloader
* a reference to it gets stored in the static LogFactory.factories member,
* keyed by the component's classloader so different components don't
* stomp on each other. When the component is later unloaded, the container
* sets the component's classloader to null with the intent that all the
* component's classes get garbage-collected. However there's still a
* reference to the component's classloader from a key in the "global"
* <code>LogFactory</code>'s factories member! If <code>LogFactory.release()</code>
* is called whenever component is unloaded, the classloaders will be correctly
* garbage collected; this <i>should</i> be done by any container that
* bundles commons-logging by default. However, holding the classloader
* references weakly ensures that the classloader will be garbage collected
* without the container performing this step. </p>
*
* <p>
* <strong>Limitations:</strong>
* There is still one (unusual) scenario in which a component will not
* be correctly unloaded without an explicit release. Though weak references
* are used for its keys, it is necessary to use strong references for its values.
* </p>
*
* <p> If the abstract class <code>LogFactory</code> is
* loaded by the container classloader but a subclass of
* <code>LogFactory</code> [LogFactory1] is loaded by the component's
* classloader and an instance stored in the static map associated with the
* base LogFactory class, then there is a strong reference from the LogFactory
* class to the LogFactory1 instance (as normal) and a strong reference from
* the LogFactory1 instance to the component classloader via
* <code>getClass().getClassLoader()</code>. This chain of references will prevent
* collection of the child classloader.</p>
*
* <p>
* Such a situation occurs when the commons-logging.jar is
* loaded by a parent classloader (e.g. a server level classloader in a
* servlet container) and a custom <code>LogFactory</code> implementation is
* loaded by a child classloader (e.g. a web app classloader).</p>
*
* <p>To avoid this scenario, ensure
* that any custom LogFactory subclass is loaded by the same classloader as
* the base <code>LogFactory</code>. Creating custom LogFactory subclasses is,
* however, rare. The standard LogFactoryImpl class should be sufficient
* for most or all users.</p>
