Command Pattern: Chihung Liao Cynthia Jiang

The command pattern encapsulates a request as an object, allowing it to be passed to other objects and executed at a later time. It decouples the invoker of the command from the receiver of the command, making it possible to add new commands without changing existing code. The pattern can be implemented in Java by defining a Command interface with an execute method, and ConcreteCommand classes that implement the interface and call methods on a Receiver object.

Flexibility and Extensibility


Encapsulate a request as an object Compare to C function pointer Decouple the client and receiver by the invoker who ONLY invoke an operation Any request can be cancelled or added in form of stack Request to be executed can be stored as a queue

Translate into JAVA 1


Interface Command: an interface for executing an operation (it could also be an abstract class, refer to the sample codes comment) Class Client: creates a ConcreteCommand object and set its receiver Class Receiver: who actually DOES things

Translate into JAVA 2


Class Invoker: ask Command to carry out an execution, an agent between ConcreteCommand and Client Class ConcreteCommand implements Command: MUST have the method in Interface Command
