策略模式

import java.util.Arrays;

class Processor{
	public String name(){
		return getClass().getSimpleName();
	}
	Object process(Object input){
		return input;
	}
}
class Upcase extends Processor{
	String process(Object input){
		//covariant return
		return((String)input).toUpperCase();
	}
}
class Downcase extends Processor{
	String process(Object input){
		//covariant return
		return((String)input).toLowerCase();
	}
}
class Splitter extends Processor{
	String process(Object input){
		return Arrays.toString(((String)input).split(" "));
	}
}
public class Apply {
	public static void process(Processor p,Object s){
		System.out.println("Using Processor"+p.name());
		System.out.println(p.process(s));
	}
	public static String s="Disagreement with belifs is by definition incorrect";
	public static void main(String[] args){
		process(new Upcase(),s);
		process(new Downcase(),s);
		process(new Splitter(),s);
	}
}

  运行结果为

Using ProcessorUpcase
DISAGREEMENT WITH BELIFS IS BY DEFINITION INCORRECT
Using ProcessorDowncase
disagreement with belifs is by definition incorrect
Using ProcessorSplitter
[Disagreement, with, belifs, is, by, definition, incorrect]

Apply类的process()方法可以接受任何类型的Processor，并将其应用到一个Object对象上。根据所传参数对象的不同从而使行为不同，创建这种方法就被称作是策略模式（Strategy  Pattern）。策略就是要传递的对象，这个例子中Processor对象就是一个策略，可以看出有3个策略应用到了String类型的s对象上。
