8. 8 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method The Template Pattern The Template (Method) Pattern  Defines the skeleton of an algorithm in a method, deferring some steps or pieces to sub-classes  Lets subclasses (re)define part of an algorithm without changing its structure (abstract) superclass algorithm final abstract hook (concrete) subclass

10. 10 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method The Template Pattern The Template (Method) Pattern  Three modes Forcing subclasses to implement certain steps (abstract or interface) Allowing subclasses to complement certain steps (through overridable hooks) Allowing subclasses to redefine steps (through overridable algorithm methods)  Non-overridable steps are defined final in the superclass

13. 13 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method Examples of the Template (Method) Pattern Don’t Call Us – We Will Call You Spring JDBC Arrays.sort(Object[] a)  Not a Superclass/Subclass situation  To use sort on an array, the array elements must implement the Comparable interface by defining the compareTo() method java.io.InputStream – abstract read() method that subclasses must implement Swing  JFrame – paint() method: a hook with an empty default implementation  Applet – start(), stop(), destroy(): hooks ADF DataAction  override onCommit, add onMyEvent

14. 14 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method Examples of the Template (Method) Pattern Outside the Java Arena Oracle Forms event-triggers  Pre-Insert, Post-Insert – hooks surrounding the Insert algorithm  even On-Insert that allows overriding of the core of the the Insert algoritm but even then the other hooks will exist Database DML Event Triggers  Before insert statement, before insert row  After insert row, After insert statement

17. 17 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method Template Pattern Operation largely follows a standard algorithm At certain steps, specialization or customization is required Several implementations  Abstract ‘hook’ methods that sub-class may override  Parametrize behaviour and have invoker provide the details Such as the SQL Query Spring JDBC Templates  Implement all JDBC wiring  Parametrize the query and the result-handling

18. 18 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method Example of Spring JDBC Template public interface empDao { public List getAllEmployees (); } public class EmployeeJdbcDao extends JdbcDaoSupport implements EmpDao { public List getAllEmployees() { JdbcTemplate jt = getJdbcTemplate(); return jt.queryForList (“select * from emp”); } <bean id="dataSourceDBDirect" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource" destroy-method="close">

19. 19 KC Web & Java – 29 november 2005 – Design Patterns – The Template Method Conclusions Template Method Pattern  Instead of overriding and reimplementing the algorithm in a subclass  The algorithms has predefined call outs To abstract method that subclasses MUST implement To concrete, overridable methods to change parts of the algorithm – but not the overall structure! To hooks (optionally implemented by subclasses to complement the steps of the algoritm Easy to apply Recognized from duplication of algorithm across classes  You frequently override a method and duplicate most of its implementation Read – and enjoy – Head First Design Patterns
