Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected List<Object>`	`createInstance()`	Template method that subclasses must override to construct the object returned by this factory.

`void`	`setSourceList(List<?> sourceList)`	Set the source List, typically populated via XML "list" elements.
`void`	`setTargetListClass(Class<? extends List> targetListClass)`	Set the class to use for the target List.
