EbeanServerFactory (ebean api 12.8.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- io.ebean.EbeanServerFactory

```
@Deprecated
public class EbeanServerFactory
extends Object
```
Deprecated.

Deprecated - please migrate to DatabaseFactory.
Creates EbeanServer instances.
This uses either a ServerConfig or properties in the ebean.properties file to configure and create a EbeanServer instance.

The EbeanServer instance can either be registered with the Ebean singleton or not. The Ebean singleton effectively holds a map of EbeanServers by a name. If the EbeanServer is registered with the Ebean singleton you can retrieve it later via Ebean.getServer(String).

One EbeanServer can be nominated as the 'default/primary' EbeanServer. Many methods on the Ebean singleton such as Ebean.find(Class) are just a convenient way of using the 'default/primary' EbeanServer.
