This can be very useful for setting up **resources** that you need to use for the whole app, and that are **shared** among requests, and/or that you need to **clean up** afterwards. For example, a database connection pool, or loading a shared machine learning model.

## Use Case { #use-case }

Let's start with an example **use case** and then see how to solve it with this.

    synchronized void insert(final String path, final DfsReferral dr) {
        int s1, s2;
        String server, share, key;

        if (DISABLED) {
            return;
        }

        s1 = path.indexOf('\\', 1);
        s2 = path.indexOf('\\', s1 + 1);
        server = path.substring(1, s1);
        share = path.substring(s1 + 1, s2);

        key = path.substring(0, dr.pathConsumed).toLowerCase();

/** An HTTP request that came into the mock web server. */
public class RecordedRequest(
  /**

   * connection index, they also shared a socket connection.

  public val connectionIndex: Int,

		{ // transitioned object version don't count towards shared data directory
			versionID:        mustGetUUID(),
			dataDir:          d2,
			shares:           3,
			transitionStatus: lifecycle.TransitionComplete,
		},
		{ // transitioned object version with an ongoing restore-object request.

    server.enqueue(MockResponse())
    server.enqueue(MockResponse())
    val request = Request(server.url("/"))
    val response = client.newCall(request).execute()
    response.body.close()

    // This client shares a connection pool but has a different SSL socket factory.
    val handshakeCertificates2 = HandshakeCertificates.Builder().build()

    assertThat(original.interceptors.size).isEqualTo(0)
    assertThat(original.networkInterceptors.size).isEqualTo(0)
  }

  /**
   * When copying the client, stateful things like the connection pool are shared across all
   * clients.
   */
  @Test fun cloneSharesStatefulInstances() {
    val client = clientTestRule.newClient()

    // Values should be non-null.
    val a = client.newBuilder().build()

    server processes which work by conversing over a port may fail.

  * Not all "remote" repositories will fail. Specifically, if the remote
    repo uses the file:// protocol, and it doesn't refer to a shared
    filesystem, it will continue to be available.

  The question remaining is: Which level of offline mode will we support? It
  seems reasonable to assume that users will be able to tell when localhost is
