  Specified by:
    `getObjectType` in class `AbstractFactoryBean<Set>`
  Returns:
    the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or `null` if not known at the time of the call

### createInstance

    protected Set createInstance()

  Description copied from class: `AbstractFactoryBean`
  Template method that subclasses must override to construct the object returned by this factory.
