  1. CSC 313 – Advanced Programming Topics Lecture 15:abstract Factory Pattern

  2. What Is the Factory Method? • Creation details hidden by AbstractCreator • Does effective job of limiting concrete knowledge

  3. Factory Method Intent • Useincomplete types as the declared type of • Local variables, fields, parameters … • Everywhere, since change might occur anywhere • Since it must be concrete, avoid new command • Replace with factory pattern • Design is then much easier to add new classes • Limits changes required when modify existing classes

  4. Factory Method Use/Avoid • Use a factory method pattern when you • Create object, but can choose class instantiated • Hide subclasses of abstract type from client • Must do complex allocation of object stack • Multiple related allocations is also important • Factory patterns so far define 1 factory method • Create 1 type of object (though many subtypes) • Forced linking or chaining allocations impossible

  5. Decorator:Factory::Strategy:? • Factory Method great for decorator pattern • Inheritance-based design of classes in this pattern • Core concept will be wrapped by many decorators • Returns single instance of abstract supertype • But pattern not helpful for Strategy Pattern • Works for single strategy, since need only 1 type • Often allocate & use many strategies, however • Factory needed for each type of strategy, however

  6. Decorator:Factory::Strategy:?

  7. Often Have Related Strategy • Skinnable apps can change look-and-feel • Similar allocations needed for all widgets

  8. Often Have Related Strategy • Skinnable apps can change look-and-feel • Similar allocations needed for all widgets

  9. Often Have Related Strategy • Skinnable apps can change look-and-feel • Similar allocations needed for all widgets

  10. Sets of Choices • Instantiate sets of components to look good • Different set defined by each look-and-feel • Instantiate only from set defined by components • To change skins, must switch set allocating from • More places need this than skinnable apps • Each game level generates class of enemies • Quacking & flying behaviors in SimUDuck • Printing & transmitting behavior of messages in IM • Colors & fonts used in a presentation

  11. Abstract Factory Pattern • Abstract Factory defines set of methods • Each method is factory for different type of object • Use this pattern to allocate family of objects • Every componentwithin a look-and-feel • Level’s collection of snipers, tanks, & grues • Quacking & flying behavior for the ducks created • Abstract Factory is composition of factories • Groups related ideas so will be allocated together

  12. Client View of Pattern • Clients use AbstractFactory & ignores details • All of the factory methods declared by this class

  13. Abstract Factory Design • Common code & fields in AbstractFactory • Can be either an abstract class or interface

  14. Abstract Factory UML • Products are supertypesof useful objects • But pattern will only return subtypes of these

  15. Abstract Factory UML • Client uses subclasses of AbstractFactory • ConcreteFactorysperform actual allocations

  16. Composition over Inheritance • Inheritance makes mixing options easy

  17. Nearly Real Example • Abstract factory generates related types • Building car from parts would be real-life example

  18. Abstract Factory Vitals • Family of related classes from 1 instance • Pattern is also a composition of factory methods • Related or interdependent classes allocated together • Unlike factory method, instantiates multiple types • Skinnable & visual systems clearest example • Scrollbars, tabs, menus, …: many shared concepts • Concrete implementation changes with each look

  19. Abstract Factory Vitals • Family of related classes from 1 instance • Pattern is also a composition of factory methods • Related or interdependent classes allocated together • Unlike factory method, instantiates multiple types • Skinnable & visual systems clearest example • Scrollbars, tabs, menus, …: many shared concepts • Concrete implementation changes with each look • Clearly identified if classes used must be related

  20. For Next Lecture • Lab #4 available on Angel • Lab will be due before next lab (Fri. 2/26) • Read pages 169-178 in book • How can we make sure only 1 end boss? • What is plural of apocalypse? How to code this? • How are design patterns & Highlander alike?
