public interface NullableGenerator<E>
extends Resettable, java.io.Closeable, ThreadAware

Interface for classes that can generate null values. For differing between a generated null and unavailability, a ProductWrapper class is introduced. It may wrap a null value that has been generated or may be null itself for declaring unavailability.
