The borrowObject methods in StackObjectPool, SoftReferenceObjectPool are synchronized and do not bound the number of attempts to create a valid instance when the pool is exhausted. When a new instance is created, if activation or validation fails, the code continues (without bound) to retry the make-activate-validate sequence. This can lead to an infinite loop if the factory is unable to create valid instances.
