  1. Design Patterns Introduction What is a pattern? Design Patterns -- definitions Examples

  2. Introduction • Developers never solve every problem from first principles • We re-use old solutions which have worked, adapting them to the new situation. • We re-use successful designs by basing any new design on prior experience. • A bit of history • The idea originated with a building architect, Christopher Alexander in the 1970s who applied it to architecture and urban planning in 1970s • In 1987, Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck devised five patterns for the guidance of Smalltalk (an early OO language) programmers • A programming problem could be solved by finding which of the patterns best matches the problem, and using this pattern to “cut” a solution • Around 1990, Jim Coplien began collecting C++ idioms for use as patterns to guide programmers • Design Patterns grew in 1990-94 from these beginings Introduction to Design Patterns

  3. Introduction • What do we mean by a pattern? • “an abstraction from a concrete form which keeps recurring in vrious specific contexts” • It captures the essence of many approaches to a design problem: what is the “right” approach • Design Patterns • Simple, elegant, flexible solutions to specific problems. • Solutions have evolved over time • Not always obvious -- result from hard work + sharing and evaluating of ideas • An insight into flexible, modular, re-usable design • The “bible” is Design Patterns, by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson & John Vlissides et al, Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0201633612 • op Read Bennett, McRobb & Farmer, Object Oriented Systems Analysis & Design using UML, chapter 14. Introduction to Design Patterns

  4. What is a Pattern? • So what exactly is a software design pattern? There are 4 essential elements of a design pattern: • the Pattern Name • the Problem • This describes when the pattern can be applied: to what kind of problem, and what pre-conditions need to be met to apply it • the Solution • A template or abstract description of the problem solution in terms of a set of classes (objects) with particular functionalities and interrelationships • Consequences • presenting the results and tradeoffs of using the pattern, helping you decide the best choice from among several promising alternatives. Introduction to Design Patterns

  5. Design Patterns • Additional information might include concrete, detailed examples of use • There are many design patterns, catalogued for easy navigation and comparison: • Some Design Patterns - • Structural Patterns • Composition of classes/objects • Example: the Adapter pattern converts the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. • Example: the Composite pattern composes objects into tree-structures to represent part/whole relationships and lets clients treat individuals and groups uniformly. • Example: the Decorator pattern attaches additional responsibility to an object dynamically -- more flexibly than subclassing. Introduction to Design Patterns

  6. Design Patterns • Creational patterns • The process of object construction • Example: the Singleton pattern is for a class that has only one instance • Example: the Abstract Factory pattern provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete class. • Example: the Factory Method pattern defines an interface for creating an object of some class but defers instantiation to subclasses • Behavioural Patterns • The way classes and objects interact • Example: the Iterator pattern provides an interface for accessing elements of an aggregate, such as a vector or a list, without exposing the aggregates interface or internal structure. Introduction to Design Patterns

  7. Design Patterns • Behavioural Patterns ctd • Example: the Observer pattern defines a 1 to many dependency between objects so that when one changes state, all dependents are notified and updated. • Example: the Strategy pattern defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and makes them interchangeable: the functinality of an object can be varied by plugging in a different one. • Example: the Template Method pattern defines the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation (function), deferring some steps to a subclass; multiple subclasses redefine certain steps of the algorithm without changing the algorithm’s structure. • Example: the State pattern allows an object to alter its behaviour when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change its class. • Example: the Command pattern encapsulates a request as an object, so we can parameterize clients with different requests, queue/log requests, support undoable operations. Introduction to Design Patterns

  8. <<abstract>>Component op1(); Leaf op1( ); Example: Composite Design Pattern • A group of objects where • An object can be an individual or a group of objects • Individuals and groups are to be treated the same way. aggregation possibly an interface 1..* several ops 0..1 ... Composite op1( ); addChild( ) removeChild( ) for each child g, g.op1(); possibly other methods for managing children Introduction to Design Patterns

  9. Example: Composite Design Pattern • Component interface • Specifies the interface common to all objects in the composition • Leaf classes (several different, in general) • Each implements Component and and defines behaviours for primitive objects in the composition. These objects have no children. • Composite class • Implements Component and defines behaviours for components with children. Normally this will consists of iterating through the children, performing the behaviour with each child. Introduction to Design Patterns

  10. aggregation 1..* Shape 0..1 Rectangle Circle Oval Line Drawing Example: Composite Design Pattern • Example of using this • A Drawing is group -- an aggregate of Shape objects • A Shape is a Rectangle or an Oval or a Circle or a Line or group of shapes • Derive Rectangle, Oval, Line, Circle, from abstract base class Shape • We want a group of shape elements to be handled (positioning, resizing, ...) in the same way as individual shape elements • A Drawing is just such a group -- so derive it from Shape too: Introduction to Design Patterns

  11. Composite Design Pattern applied to Shapes • A Shape is associated with 0 or 1 Drawing • A Drawing contains one or more Shapes • ...which may recursively be individual Rectangles, Ovals etc, or Drawings, ie groups • At the moment, we have four “leaf” subclasses. • Common Shape operations (“op1()”) will be declared abstract in Shape and implemented in the subclasses. • Drawing subclass additionally needs addChild, removeChild() children management methods • The Java implementation • MyShape.java is the abstract base class • listing attached to these notes • MyOval.java, MyCircle are a typical “leaf” classes • listings attached to these notes • MyRectangle.java, MyLine.java • More “leaf” classes: you are asked to write these in the practical exercise Introduction to Design Patterns

  12. Composite Design Pattern applied to Shapes • The Java implementation of the “composite” class, MyDrawing.java. • It is derived from MyShape: public class MyDrawing extends MyShape { • It needs a way of storing its children: Vector children = new Vector(); • Constructor is similar to the others’ -- but width and height are 0: public MyDrawing(int x, int y) { super(x, y, 0, 0); } • It has methods for adding and removing a shape: public void add(MyShape s) { children.addElement(s); } public void remove(MyShape s) { children.removeElement(s); } Introduction to Design Patterns

  13. Composite Design Pattern applied to Shapes • The Java implementation of the “composite” class • Re-sizing is not allowed for Drawings: public void size(int wdth, int hgt) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); } • You move a Drawing by moving all the shapes it contains: public void move(int x, int y) { int dx = x - getX(); int dy = y - getY(); Iterator it = children.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { MyShape s = (MyShape)it.next(); int newX = s.getX() + dx; int newY = s.getY() + dy; s.move(newX, newY); } } • NB Vectors and Iterators live in java.util.* • Likewise, draw a Drawing by delegating: Introduction to Design Patterns

  14. Composite Design Pattern applied to Shapes • The Java implementation of the “composite” class • Likewise, draw a Drawing by delegating: public void draw(Graphics g) { Iterator it = children.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { MyShape s = (MyShape)it.next(); s.draw(g); } } • Using the composite Pattern Introduction to Design Patterns

  15. Using Composite Pattern • We start with a drawing: private MyDrawing shapes =new MyDrawing(0,0); • That we populate with shapes shapes.add(new MyRectangle(13,25,100,200)); shapes.add(new MyCircle(110,150,100)); shapes.add(new MyRectangle(10,50,200,200)); • That can be drawings private MyDrawing blob = new MyDrawing(30,20); shapes.add(blob); blob.add(new MyRectangle(13,25,100,200)); blob.add(new MyCircle(110,150,100)); • We can then move parts blob.move(30,15); • Or the whole shapes.move(10,15); • And draw it all to a graphics object shapes.draw(g); Introduction to Design Patterns

  16. Using Composite Pattern • An Advantage of Polymorphism: • Adding a new shape requires no modification of existing code • 1. Derive the new shape from MyShape overriding the draw method • 2. That’s it. • All code that uses MyShape will work with the new shape. • Alternative designs can use type information explicitly • e.g. instanceof() • These are likely to require additional modifications • You have to take care with the use of run time type information • Avoid “switch on type” constructs. Introduction to Design Patterns

  17. Example: Adapter Pattern <<interface>> Target Client AdapterClass AdapteeClass <<interface>> Target Client AdapteeClass AdapterClass • Converts the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. • Note the two versions: object version and class version • Target interface specifies the interface that Client expects • Adaptee is a class that provides desired functionality but an interface need to be adapted to Target • Adapter provides adapted interface either by subclassing or by “owning” an Adaptee object. Introduction to Design Patterns

  18. Shape TextShape Line boundingBox() createManipularor() boundingBox() createManipularor() boundingBox() createManipularor() TextView getExtent() Example: Adapter Pattern Drawing Editor return text.getExtent() return new TextManipulator Ref: Gamma et al p 139 fff Introduction to Design Patterns

  19. <<abstract>> Creator product createProduct( ): op(); ConcreteCreator createProductl( ) : ConcreteProduct op() Example: Factory Method Pattern <<interface>> Product ConcreteProduct ... return new ConcreteProduct(); • Defines an interface for creating an object of some class but defers instantiation to subclasses • Abstract Creator class specifies factory method • ConcreteCreator class -- several of these -- each extends Creator and implements its factory method createProduct • Product interface -- the interface of objects created by the factory method • ConcreteProduct classes -- several -- implement the interface. Objects created by the factory method are instances of these classes. Introduction to Design Patterns

  20. Document open() close() save() revert() MyApplication createDocumentl( ) : MyDocument Example: Factory Method Pattern Application docs createDocument( ): newDocment(); openDocument …. Document doc = createDocument() docs.add(doc); doc.open(); MyDocument ... return new MyDocument(); • Ref: Gamma et al p 107 Introduction to Design Patterns

  21. <<interface>> Iterator <<interface>>Aggregate next():Object; hasNext(): boolean getIterator(); ConcreteAggregate ConcreteIterator getIterator(): Iterator next():Object; hasNext(): boolean Example: Iterator Pattern • Iterator interface specifies operations for accessing a given category of collections • ConcreteIterator class implements Iterator interface. Each object keeps track of its current position in the traversal of the underlying aggregate. • Aggregate interface specifies operations for aggregates, which must include an operation for returning an Iterator. • ConcreteAggregate class implements this -- could be Vector or Collection or user defined, based on these or an array • Client interacts with a ConcreteAggregate through the Iterator interface. • We have already made soome use of this pattern! Client 1 * Introduction to Design Patterns

  22. Java.util. Iterator Java.util. Collection iterator(); next():Object; hasNext(): boolean Vector (anon class) iterator(): Iterator next():Object; hasNext(): boolean Example: Iterator Pattern • See Java util package documentation. Iterator is intended as a replacement for Enumeration (which has simlar abstract methods hasMoreElements(), nextElement(); a Vector also has a method elements() which returns an object of anonymous class implementing Enumeration ) Introduction to Design Patterns

  23. <<abstract>> AbstractClass templateMethod( ) op1( ) op2( ) ConcreteClass ConcreteClass2 op1( ) op2( ) op1( ) op2( ) Example: Template Method Pattern • Defines the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation (function), deferring some steps to a subclass; multiple subclasses redefine certain steps of the algorithm without changing the algorithm’s structure. • AbstractClass specifies one or more template methods that implement a partially complete algorithm and specify abstract hook methods that the template mwthod(s) will use. • ConcreteClass extends AbstractClass, implementing the hook methods in various specific ways ... op1(); ... op2(); ... Introduction to Design Patterns

  24. <<abstract>> Subject <<interface>>Observer add(Observer) remove(Observer) notifyAll( ) update(Event) ConcreteObserver update(Event) Example: Observer Pattern * • Defines a 1 to many dependency between objects so that when one changes state, all dependents are notified and updated. • Subject class maintains list list of Observer objects; has methods for adding and removing Observers and notifying them of changes of state in the Concrete Subject. • ConcreteSubject – particular class of interest • Observer interface specifies the interface by which ConcreteObservers are notified • ConcreteObserver implements Observer interface and provides particular behaviours for responding to changes in ConcreteSubject’s state. ConcreteSubject For each observer o o.update( ) …. Introduction to Design Patterns

  25. Example: Strategy Pattern 1 <<interface>> Strategy Context • Defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and makes them interchangeable: the functinality of an object can be varied by plugging in a different one. • Strategy interface specifies the interface implemented by all ConcreteStrategy classes (which implement various particular Strategies) • Context class maintains a reference to some ConcreteStrategy objectand invikes it through the Strategy interface to execute a strategy.
