观察者模式的概念:
属于对象行为型模型,也被称为发布-订阅模式或者依赖模式,定义对象间一对多的依赖关系,当一个对象发生改变状态时,所有依赖于它的对象都会收到通知并被自动更新。
观察者职责:收到通知后做一些事情
被观察者职责: 管理和通知观察者
优点:
- 观察者和被观察者之间是抽象解耦:
- 建立了一套触发机制
缺点:
- 因为一个被观察者多个观察者,开发调试会比较复杂,Java是消息通知默认是顺序执行,如果一个观察者卡了,会影响整体的执行效率,这种情况下,一般采用异步方式。
- 多级触发时效率问题,意外的更新:因为一个观察者并不知道其他观察者的存在,它可能对改变目标的最终代价一无所知,在目标的操作可能因为一系列对观察者以及依赖于这些观察者的那些对象的更新,此外,如果依赖准则的定义或维护不当,常常会引起错误的更新,这些错误通常很难捕捉。
使用场景:
- 关联行为场景
- 事件需要多级触发的场景
- 跨系统的消息交互场景,如消息队列的处理机制
- 当一个抽象模型有两个方面,其中一个依赖于另一个,将这二封装在独立的对象中使他们可以各自独立的改变和复用
- 当一个对象的改变需要同时改变其他对象,而不知道具体有多少对象有待改变
- 对一个对象必须通知其他对象,而它又不能假定其他对象是谁,就是这些对象不能紧密耦合。
