-/**
- * Factory Method pattern
- *
- * Purpose:
- * similar to the AbstractFactory, this pattern is used to create series of related or dependant objects.
- * The difference between this and the abstract factory pattern is that the factory method pattern uses just one static
- * method to create all types of objects it can create. It is usually named "factory" or "build".
- *
- * Examples:
- * - Zend Framework: Zend_Cache_Backend or _Frontend use a factory method create cache backends or frontends
- *
