LECTURE 12:IMPLEMENTING DECORATORS

CSC 313 – Advanced Programming Topics

Decorator Pattern Intent

Invisibly augment main concept instances Turn coffee into a double mocha with

whip Make $2 sandwich cost $2.17

Decorators add functionality by wrapping Original instance wrapped by new

decorator Can also have decorator wrap another

Decorators’ Dirty Secrets

Decorators are subclasses of main class

Decorators’ Dirty Secrets

Decorators are subclasses of main class

Decorators’ Dirty Secrets

Decorators are subclasses of main class

Almost recursive

Meet the Decorator Classes AbstractComponent

Component & decoratorsuperclass

Only type used outsidepattern

Interface or abstract class

Defines methods calledby code outside pattern

Meet the Decorator Classes ConcreteComponent(s)

Base concept defined here Only role always created Instance at root

of decoration Holds vital fields Basic methods defined

in this class

Meet the Decorator Classes AbstractDecorator

Decorator superclass Declares component field Abstract class only Re-declares all

inherited methodsto make abstract

Meet the Decorator Classes ConcreteDecorator(s)

Add fields or functionalityto ConcreteComponent

All methods definedso not abstract Calls method

in component field May instantiate 0 to ∞

Decorator Pattern Usage

Drink martini = new Gin();martini = new Vermouth(martini);martini = new Ice(martini);martini = martini.shake();

Decorator Pattern Usage

Drink martini = new Gin();martini = new Vermouth(martini);martini = new Ice(martini);martini = martini.shake();

= martini.pour();

Decorator Example

Decorators: Good or Bad

Pros: Invisibly add to

classes Enable code reuse Limit code written Creates classes

that are closed to modification

Cons: No reality in

hierarchy Use mangled

recursion Slow, polymorphic

calls used everywhere

For Next Lecture

Lab #3 available on Angel Asks you to implement Decorator

Pattern Have time Friday, but may want help

profiling Two (short) readings available on

web Is this method hot or uglier than ____

Mom? What rules of thumb exist for where to

optimize? How to express improvement so it is

meaningful? Could we compute maximum benefit

from opts?
