/**
* Factory for the <b>Oracle Coherence for C++</b> %cache product.
*
* One of the most common functions provided by the CacheFactory is ability to
* obtain an instance of a %cache. There are various %cache services and %cache
* topologies that are supported by Coherence.
*
* To get a %cache reference use getCache() method.
*
* When a %cache retrieved by any of the above methods is no longer used, it is
* preferrable to call #releaseCache to release the associated resources. To
* destroy all instances of the %cache across the cluster, use #destroyCache.
