  1. Design Patterns CMPS 2143

  2. Design Patterns • Consider previous solutions to problems similar to any new problem • must have some characteristics in common • tweak the solution • Very few really new problems • Whole bunch of patterns are documented that you can use

  3. What is a design pattern? • Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice. Christopher Alexander • Aid in discussing structures and relationships at a higher level of abstraction (viewed as a community of interacting agents)

  4. Two Reasons to use design patterns • Speeds process of finding a solution • don’t reinvent the wheel • Naming patterns gives programmers a common vocabulary or language to discuss design alternatives.

  5. What patterns aren’t. • Patterns are a generalized concept, an idea formed in succinct manner, yet expressible in many different ways. They aren’t: • an exact solution • the basis of a code catalog

  6. Controlling Information Flow • Many design patterns deal with how information flows between a client/server or consumer/producer boundary. client info server

  7. Easy Example: Adapter Pattern • An object in your community (client) needs a service and requires a specific interface • Another object provides the service, but does not support the desired interface • CREATE AN ADAPTER! • speaks the language of the client, but doesn’t do the work itself, it gets the service to do it

  8. Coded example • Client wants a DataBox but wants the methods in Collection class MyCollection implements Collection{ public booleanisEmpty() {return data.count()== 0;} public int size () {return data.count();} public void addElement (Object e) {data.add(e);} public booleancontainsElement (Object e) { return data.find(e) != null;} public Object findElement (Object e) { return data.find(e);} private DataBox data = new DataBox(); }

  9. Describing Patterns • Special format to describe patterns • Use a narrative with these parts • name • synopsis • forces (or requirements of pattern) • solution (or rather the essence of a solution) • counterforces (reasons not to use the pattern) • related patterns

  10. Describing the Adapter Pattern • name: Adapter • synopsis: Used to connect a client who needs a service described using one interface with a provider who implements the desired functionality but uses a different interface • solution : implements the interface as specified by the client, but rather than performing the given operations, passes the work on to the service provider • counterforces: adds one layer of indirection between the client and provider and also introduces another class

  11. Singleton Pattern • Not all patterns deal with client/server interactions • In Singleton pattern the developer of a class wants to ensure there is never more than one instance of the class

  12. Coded Example of Singleton Pattern class SingletonClass { public: static SingletonClass * oneAndOnly () {return theOne;} //other non-constructor methods here private: //constructor Singleton () { //theOne is initialized here } //the member data static SingletonClass * theOne; }

  13. Decorator Pattern • Decorator pattern deals with how new functionality can be attached to existing objects • inheritance is one way to do this • inheritance is static and heavyweigth • inheritance does not permit values to change their behavior dynamically during execution • A decorator wraps around an existing object and satisfies the same requirements • delegates much of responsibility to original • occasionally adds new functionality

  14. Decorator Pattern

  15. Coded Example of Decorator from Java class BufferedInputStream extends InputStream { public BuffererInputStream (InputStream s) {data =s;} //other methods here private InputStream data; } • InputStream reads bytes from input device, such as file. • BufferedInputStream is a subclass of InputStream, adding the ability to buffer input • can reset to an earlier point and can reread values • NOTE: BufferedInputStreamis-an Input Stream AND has-anInputStream

  16. Observer Pattern • Addresses problem of how two objects can stay synchronized without having direct knowledge of each other

  17. Observer Pattern • The model – part that is doing the actual work • The view – portion of the program charged with displaying the results • Need an intermediary • ObserverManager communicates with both the model and the observers • ObserverManager maintains list of models and they notify it when they change • Observers register with ObserverManager • Also known as Publish-Suscribe and ModelViewController
