when to use the abstract factory pattern?
- by hguser
Hi:
I want to know when we need to use the abstract factory pattern.
Here is an example,I want to know if it is necessary.
The UML
THe above is the abstract factory pattern, it is recommended by my classmate.
THe following is myown implemention. I do not think it is necessary to use the pattern.
And the following is some core codes:
package net;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Properties;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
DaoRepository dr=new DaoRepository();
AbstractDao dao=dr.findDao("sql");
dao.insert();
}
}
class DaoRepository {
Map<String, AbstractDao> daoMap=new HashMap<String, AbstractDao>();
public DaoRepository () throws IOException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
Properties p=new Properties();
p.load(DaoRepository.class.getResourceAsStream("Test.properties"));
initDaos(p);
}
public void initDaos(Properties p) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
String[] daoarray=p.getProperty("dao").split(",");
for(String dao:daoarray) {
AbstractDao ad=(AbstractDao)Class.forName(dao).newInstance();
daoMap.put(ad.getID(),ad);
}
}
public AbstractDao findDao(String id) {return daoMap.get(id);}
}
abstract class AbstractDao {
public abstract String getID();
public abstract void insert();
public abstract void update();
}
class SqlDao extends AbstractDao {
public SqlDao() {}
public String getID() {return "sql";}
public void insert() {System.out.println("sql insert");}
public void update() {System.out.println("sql update");}
}
class AccessDao extends AbstractDao {
public AccessDao() {}
public String getID() {return "access";}
public void insert() {System.out.println("access insert");}
public void update() {System.out.println("access update");}
}
And the content of the Test.properties is just one line:
dao=net.SqlDao,net.SqlDao
So any ont can tell me if this suitation is necessary?
