ApplicationFactory is a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns Application instances. Implementations of JavaServer Faces must provide at least a default implementation of Application.

There must be one ApplicationFactory instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling: 

ApplicationFactory factory = (ApplicationFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);

Usage: extend this class and push the implementation being wrapped to the constructor and use getWrapped to access the instance being wrapped.
