Patterns
Design Patterns Design pattern is a general solution to a
common problem in software design– Systematic approach for problems that reoccur in
software development– Not complete solution but starting point for design – Not code ready to use– Patterns have names and definitions– Built on common practices
Patterns should not be language dependant– However patterns apply for types of programming
languages
History Patterns originated as an architectural
concept“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
History Landmark book from 1995:Design
Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software– Gang of Four (GoF)– Term Design Pattern is
borrowed from theconstruction industry
Several books on patternshave been published since– Head First Design Patterns
for example
Vintage Design Patterns Design Patterns are like good red wine
– You cannot appreciate them at first– As you study them you learn the
difference between plonk and vintage,or bad and good designs
– As you become a connoisseur you experience the various textures you didn’t notice before
Warning:– Once you are hooked, you will no longer be
satisfied with inferior designsDr. Heinz Kabutz (http://www.javaspecialists.co.za)
Pattern Classification Design patterns can be classified based on
multiple criteria– Basic underlying problem they solve
Classification– Fundamental patterns – Creational patterns – Structural patterns – Behavioral patterns – Concurrency patterns
Enterprise Patterns Classification Domain Logic Patterns Data Source Architectural Patterns Object-Relational Behavioral Patterns Object-Relational Structural Patterns Object-Relational Metadata Mapping Patterns Web Presentation Patterns Distribution Patterns Offline Concurrency Patterns Session State Patterns Base Patterns
Which of these statements is not true
A) Design Patterns are based on solutions from practiceB) Design Patterns are ideas not codeC) Design Patterns are based on specific programming languagesD) Design Patterns can have ambiguous names

Structure of Patterns
Structure of Patterns Name The Intent The Sketch Motivation How it Works When to Use it Further Reading Examples
The Name Pattern names are important
– Need to create a vocabulary– Need to describe the pattern well– Avoid ambiguity and misunderstanding
Problems with names– Authors are using different names for same
pattern • Data Access Object and Table Data Gateway• Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control
– Authors are using same name for different patterns
• Example: Value Object is used for two similar patterns
The Intent Sums up the pattern in a sentence or two
– Value Object:
A small simple object, like money or date range, whose equality isn’t based on identity
The Sketch Visual representation of the pattern, often
but not always a UML diagram
Motivation Description of a motivating problem for
the pattern– Problem description– May not be the only problem for the pattern
Example: – Layered supertype
It’s not uncommon for all the objects in a layer to have methods you don’t want to have duplicated throughout the system. You can move this behavior into a common Layer Supertype
How it Works Describes the solution
– Implementation Issues– Variations– Independent of any particular platform– Platform dependent sections are identified– UML Diagrams if applicable
Plugin example
When to Use It Describes when the pattern should be
used– Trade-offs– Comparisons
Layered Supertype example– Use Layer Supertype when you have common
features from all objects in a layer
Examples Example code in Java or C#
– Layer Supertype Not working code
– pseudo code to give idea
class DomainObject...
private Long ID; public Long getID() { return ID; } public void setID(Long ID) { this.ID = ID; } public DomainObject(Long ID) { this.ID = ID; }
Using Design Patterns How to use design patterns?
– Problem is the patterns can be complex and detailed
– Usually they are generic and abstract Ways to study patterns
– Implement them in test code– Sketch a class diagram in your context to see
the class dependencies– Form a “Study group” to discuss the patterns– Learn the vocabulary– Practice, practice, practice
Problems with Patterns Ambiguity in Vocabulary
– Same pattern has different names– Different Patterns have same name
Appling the wrong pattern– Over-designing the solution– Patterns design for one language might not be
needed in another Not solving the original problem
– Using Remote Façade instead of avoiding network latencies
– Using EJB Entity Beans
Job interview question
You are given the assignment of creating a component that needs to know sales statistics of Lottery tickets. You know that there is a another component in the system, Sale Server, that handles the sale. You need real-time information. What would you suggest?
EXERCISE
Sale server Bingo
First proposal: Sale Server will call Bingo
Problem is that the Sale Server developer refuses to make a call to a specific game. His argument is that Sale Server should be for sale, and not be cluttered with game specific code.
Another solution is needed.

The Observer Pattern
The Weather Monitoring Example The Weather Monitoring application
The Weather Monitoring Example Task
– We need to implement measurementsChanged so that it updates three different displays for current conditions, weather stats, and forcasts
– measurementsChanged is called any time data changes, we don’t know or care how this method is called
– Three display types must be updated– The system must be expandable – new display
types will be added
The Weather Monitoring Example WeatherData class
public class WeatherData{ // instance variable declarations
public void measurementsChanged() { float temp = getTemperature(); float humidity = getHumidity(); float pressure = getPressure();
currentConditionsDisplay.update (temp, humidity, pressure); statisticsDisplay.update (temp, humidity, pressure); forcastConditionsDisplay.update (temp, humidity, pressure); } ...}
Quiz Based on our first implementation, which of the
following apply
A. We are coding to concrete implementation not abstractions
B. For every new display element we need to alter codeC. We have no way to add (or remove) display elements at
runtimeD. The display elements don’t implement a common
interfaceE. We have not encapsulated the part that changesF. We are violating encapsulation of the WeatherData class
The Weather Monitoring Example WeatherData class
public class WeatherData{ // instance variable declarations
public void measurementsChanged() { float temp = getTemperature(); float humidity = getHumidity(); float pressure = getPressure();
currentConditionsDisplay.update (temp, humidity, pressure); statisticsDisplay.update (temp, humidity, pressure); forcastConditionsDisplay.update (temp, humidity, pressure); } ...}
By coding to concreate implementation we have no way to add or remove displays without code change
Interface is that same for all
ObserverOne or more observers or listeners are registered
to observe an event which may be raised by the observed object (the subject)
Sometimes called publish/subscribe– Similar to call-back handlers– One-to-Many relationship
Benefits– Listening object gets information when needed– Subject does not become dependent on multiple
observers
Observer Design Pattern
Observer Design Pattern Subject does not depend on listeners
Loose Coupling When two object are loosley coupled, the can
interact but they have very little knowledge of each other
The Observer Pattern loosley coupled design– The only thing the subject knows about observer is
that it implements a ceratain interface– We can add new observers at any time– We never need to modify the subject to add new types
of observers– We can reuse subjects or observers independent of
each other
Loosley Coupled Principle
Strive for loosely coupled designs between objects that interact
Weather Station Examplepublic interface Subject{ public void registerObserver(Observer o); public void removeObserver(Observer o); public void notifyObservers();}
public interface DisplayElement{ public void display();}
public interface Observer{ public void update(float temp, float humidity, float pressure);}
Weather Station Examplepublic class WeatherData implements Subject{ private ArrayList observers; private float temperature, humidity, pressure; public WeatherData() { observers = new ArrayList(); } public void registerObserver(Observer o) { observers.add(o); } public void removeObserver(Observer o) { int i = observers.indexOf(o); if (i>= 0) observers.remove(i); }
POLYMORPISHM
Weather Station Example public void notifyObservers() { for (int i = 0; i<observers.size(); i++) { Observer observer = (Observer)observers.get(i); observer.update(temperature, humidity, pressure); } } public void measurementsChanged() { notifyObservers(); } // Test code public void setMeasurement(float temperature, float humidity, float pressure) { this.temperature = temperature; this.humidity = humidity; this.pressure = pressure; this.measurementsChanged(); }
POLYMORPISHM
Weather Station Examplepublic class CurrentConditionsDisplay implements Observer, DisplayElement{ private float temperature, humidity; private Subject weatherData; public CurrentConditionsDisplay(Subject weatherData) { this.weatherData = weatherData; weatherData.registerObserver(this); } public void update(float temp, float humidity, float pressure) { this.temperature = temp; this.humidity = humidity; display(); } public void display() { System.out.println("Current conditions: " + temperature + "C " + "Humidity: " + humidity + "%"); }}
Registeringthis as an observer
The subject will call update
Weather Station Examplepublic class WeatherStation{ public static void main(String[] args) { WeatherData weatherData = new WeatherData();
CurrentConditionsDisplay currentDisplay = new CurrentConditionsDisplay(weatherData);
weatherData.setMeasurement(15, 50, 30); }}
Current conditions: 15.0C Humidity: 50.0%
Loose Coupling When two object are loosley coupled, the can
interact but they have very little knowledge of each other
The Observer Pattern loosley coupled design– The only thing the subject knows about observer is
that it implements a ceratain interface– We can add new observers at any time– We never need to modify the subject to add new types
of observers– We can reuse subjects or observers independent of
each other
Loosley Coupled Principle
Strive for loosely coupled designs between objects that interact
Liskov Substitution Principle
Overriding Behavior RubberDuck overwrote fly to do nothing
– Any use of Duck that expects fly behavior will not work correctly
– Users of the base class (Duck) should expect same functionality
– Violation of the Liskov Substitution Principle
The Liskov Substitution Principle
Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types. Code that uses references to base class must be able to use objects of derived classes without knowing it.
BarbaraLiskov
The Liskov Substitution Principle All code operating with reference to the
base class should be completely transparent to the type of the inherited object
It should be possible to substitute an object of one type with another within the same class hierarchy
Inheriting classes should not perform any actions that will invalidate the assumptions made by the base class
LSP Examplepublic class Rectangle {
protected int _width; protected int _height; public int getWidth() { return _width; } public int getHeight() { return _height; } public void setWidth(int width) { _width = width; } public void setHeight(int height) { _height = height; }}
LSP Examplepublic class Square extends Rectangle {
public void setWidth(int width) { _width = width; _height = width; }
public void setHeight(int height) { _height = height; _width = _height; } }
Implementation convenience
LSP Exampleimport junit.framework.Assert;import org.junit.Test;
public class RectangleTests {
@Test public void areaOfRectangle() {
Rectangle r = new Square(); r.setWidth(5); r.setHeight(2); // Will Fail - r is a square and sets // width and height equal to each other. Assert.assertEquals(r.getWidth() * r.getHeight(),10); }}
The Open-Closed Principle
The Open-Closed Principle
Software entities like classes, modules and functions should be open for extension but closed for modifications
The Open-Closed Principle Design and write code in a fashion that
adding new functionality would involve minimal changes to existing code– Most changes will be handled as new methods
and new classes– Designs following this principle would result in
resilient code which does not break on addition of new functionality
public class ResourceAllocator{ ... public int allocate(intresourceType) { intresourceId; switch (resourceType) { case TIME_SLOT: resourceId = findFreeTimeSlot(); markTimeslotBusy(resourceId); break; case SPACE_SLOT: resourceId = findFreeSpaceSlot(); markSpaceSlotBusy(resourceId); break; ... } return resourceId; }...
Resource Allocator Example
Holy Buckets!!I need to change the class for new types!!! Horrible!
Resource Allocator Example Design for extensions
List resources = new ArrayList();...public int allocate(intresourceType){ int resourceId = findFreeResource(resourceType); markAsBusy(resourceId); return resourceId;}
Another Exampleprotected String normalize(char cCharacter) { switch(cCharacter) { case '<': return "<"; case '>': return ">"; case '&’: return "&"; case '"’: return """; default: return ""+cCharacter;} }
This is not complete This is common problem – a library must
exists If making it yourself, a Map would be
better
What is wrong withthis code?
Creating Objects Revisted
TaskWe need to create program that reads feedsFeed can be RSS news, XML or what ever
The program must be loosely coupledNew feed types will come
Creating Objects Where does the creation take place?
Enterprise Application
This stays the sameThis that is added
Call-back Handlers Inverting the Dependency
– Let a class call you back
Example– sort routine, reading records
ReaderProcess RssFeedReader
processEntryprocessEntryprocessEntry
Read
Example: Reading RSS Process to read an RSS feed
– The FeedReader define the role of such readers
– Concrete readers must implement read and accept a call-back handler to get the results back
public interface FeedReader{ public boolean read(); public void setFeedHandler(FeedHandler handler);}
public interface FeedHandler{ public void processEntry(FeedEntry entry);}
Example: Reading RSS AbstractFeedReader acts as a
superclass for concrete reader classes – Layered Supertype pattern
public abstract class AbstractFeedReader implements FeedReader{ protected FeedHandler feedHandler; public void setFeedHandler(FeedHandler handler) { this.feedHandler = handler; } public abstract boolean read();}
Example: Reading RSS RssFeedReaderpublic class RssFeedReader extends AbstractFeedReader{ private String source;
public RssFeedReader(String source) { this.source = source; }
public boolean read() { // reading ... feedHandler.processEntry(new FeedEntry(ent.getTitle(), ent.getLink(), ent.getPublishedDate().toString())); } return true; }}
Example: Reading RSS ReaderProcess is the clientpublic class ReaderProcess implements FeedHandler{ FeedReader reader;
public ReaderProcess() { ReaderFactory factory = ReaderFactory.getReaderFactory(); reader = factory.getFeedReader("http://..."); reader.setFeedHandler(this); }
public void processEntry(FeedEntry entry) { ... }}

Creating objects Program to an implementation
Program to interface/subtype
Program to unknown creation
Dog d = new Dog();d.bark();
Animal animal = new Dog();animal.makeSound();
Animal animal = getAnimal();animal.makeSound();
Code smell!
The Problem with “new” new is used to create object Problem is this:
– Even if we use supertypes (interfaces or abstract classes) we have to have concrete class behind it
– This violates the Program to Interfaces Design Principle
– The code also violates the Open Closed Principle
Animal animal = new Dog();animal.makeSound();
Program to an interfacesDependency Injection– Make the caller responsible for setting the
dependencyprivate Animal animal;
public setAnimal(Animal animal){ this.animal = animal;}...
animal.makeSound();
Injection happens here,
in the set-method
LOOSE COUPLING = BEAUTIFUL!
Program to unknown creation What does this mean?
Animal animal = getAnimal();animal.makeSound();
Where is this getAnimal
coming from?
Factory
FeedReader Objects are created with new
public class ReaderProcess { FeedReader reader;
public ReaderProcess() { reader = new RssFeedReader ("http://www.mbl.is/mm/rss/togt.xml");}
Holy Cow! new creates concrete object not abstraction!!
FeedReader We need to have diffrent types
public ReaderProcess(String type, String source){ if(type.equals("rss")) reader = new RssFeedReader(source); else if (type.equals("atom")) reader = new AtomFeedReader(source); else if (type.equals("xml")) reader = new XmlFeedReader(source); reader.setFeedHandler(this);}
Holy Macaroni!This smells!!!Violates the OCP
Moving the Dependency The name of the class is put in to a
properties file– ReaderFactory has no clue of what class it is– It just has to be a subclass of FeedReader public static FeedReader getFeedReader()
{ FeedProperties prop = new FeedProperties(); Class instanceClass; FeedReader reader = null; try { instanceClass = Class.forName(prop.getProperty("reader")); reader = (FeedReader)instanceClass.newInstance(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("loading class failed"); return null; } reader.setSource(prop.getSource()); return reader; }
Loading Properties Properties class
public class FeedProperties extends Properties{ protected String reader; protected String source; protected String DEFAULT_PROPERTIES = "feeds.properties";
public FeedProperties() { try { load(new FileInputStream(new File(DEFAULT_PROPERTIES))); reader = getProperty("reader"); source = getProperty("source"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Loading properties failed"); } }
feeds.propertiesreader=is.ru.honn.feeds.rss.RssFeedReadersource=http://www.mbl.is/mm/rss/togt.xml
