Here's is an implementation of some Design Patterns from scratch :p
What is a Design Pattern ?
A software design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design --- Wikipedia
In Java, Design Patterns are divived into tree parts : Creational, Structural and Behavioral.
Code source files are available in the package com.patternObsTest
.
The observer pattern is a software design pattern in which an object, called the subject, maintains a list of its dependents, called observers, and notifies them automatically of any state changes, usually by calling one of their methods.
// importing classes in the package
import com.patternObsTest.*;
public class test{
public static void main(String[] args[]){
Subject s = new Subject();
Observer o = new Observer();
Observer o2 = new Observer();
Observer[] arr = {o,o2};
s.attach(arr);
/*now we set the value of the attribute length contains in the Subject.
NOTE: the param is an enum (valLEngth)
*/
s.setLength(valLength.Val2);
//Now look at your console to see the result :p
}
}
Pattern Singleton: One Class, one Instance.
Singleton is one of the Gangs of Four Design patterns and comes in the Creational Design Pattern category.
There are many implementations of this pattern, but we will implement the Thread Safe one.
Classes are in the package com.Singleton
;
```java
import com.singleton.SingletonThreadSafe;
public class SingletonTest {
public static void main(String[] args){
SingletonThreadSafe sing = SingletonThreadSafe.getInstance();
System.out.println(sing);
// Now let's instanciate another class
SingletonThreadSafe sing1 = SingletonThreadSafe.getInstance();
System.out.println(sing1);
//Now check out your console.... What the hell, the two instances have the same reference :o
}
}
```
Factory Pattern is one of the Creational Design pattern and it's widely used in JDK as well as frameworks like Spring and Struts. This pattern is used when we have a super class with multiple sub-classes and based on the input, we need to return one of the sub-class.
import com.factory.FactoryClass ; //The factory class
import com.factory.PC; //sub-class
import com.factory.Server; //sub-class
//PC and Server classes extend from Computer.
public static void main(String[] args){
FactoryClass fc = new FactoryClass();
Computer comp1 = fc.getComputer("PC",16,499,4.3);
System.out.println(comp1);
Computer comp2 = fc.getComputer("Server",30,900,9);
System.out.println(comp2);
}
