    Abstract Factory Pattern

    Uploaded by

    kasim
    The Abstract Factory pattern provides a way to encapsulate a group of factories that have a common theme without specifying their concrete classes. It allows a system to be independent of how its products are created, composed, and represented. The pattern provides an interface for creating families of related objects without specifying their concrete classes. In JDBC applications, DriverManager.getConnection() implements the Abstract Factory pattern by returning a Connection object that can then be used to create Statement objects without specifying their classes.

    Abstract Factory Pattern


    The Abstract Factory pattern is one level of abstraction higher than the Factory Method
    pattern. You can use this pattern to return one of several related classes of objects, each of
    which can return several different objects on request. In other words, the Abstract Factory is a
    factory object that returns one of several groups of classes. You might even decide which class
    to return from that group by using a Simple Factory.

    This pattern is an enhancement of Factory patterns which provides one level of


    abstraction higher than factory pattern. This means that the abstract factory returns the factory
    of classes. Like Factory pattern returned one of the several sub-classes, this returns such factory
    which later will return one of the sub-classes.

    It provides a way to encapsulate a group of several related factories. This method is


    used when to return one of several related classes of objects and each of which have the
    capability of returning several objects of different types on request. This pattern provides
    separation from the implementation details of a set of objects from its general usage. This
    pattern hides the concrete subclass from the client and should be used when the system is
    independent of how the components are organized.

    Def: Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without

    specifying their concrete classes.

    Intent:

     Abstract Factory offers the interface for creating a family of related objects, without
    explicitly specifying their classes.

    Application Areas: We should use the Abstract Factory design pattern when:
     A system should be independent of how its products are created, composed,and
    represented.
     A system should be configured with one of multiple families of products.
     A family of related product objects is designed to be used together, and you need to
    enforce this constraint.
     You want to provide a class library of products, and you want to reveal just their
    interfaces, not their implementations.

    Ex:

    In JDBC applications, DriverManager.getConnection() implements Factory pattern in the


    process of implementing Abstract Factory. Because this method returns one implementation
    class object of java.sql.Connection(I) i.e.Connection Object and that connection object can
    be used to create Statement objcet.
    eg: Connection con=Drivermanager.getConnection(“jdbc:odbc:durga”,”uname”,”pwd”);
    Statement st=con.createStatement();
    Here we are able to work with the JDBC Connection & Statement objcets with out
    specifying their class names.
    Sample Code:
    // AbstractFactoryPatternTest.java
