RE: [CFCDev] Factory Pattern

[Baz]

So Bill, are you condoning only passing in the Factory to init() and using it to create the dependent objects – rather than pre-creating the objects in the factory and passing THEM in to init()?   Baz     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Rawlinson Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 1:19 PM To: CFCDev@cfczone.org Subject: Re: [CFCDev] Factory Pattern   Also you had discussed, at one point, passing the factory into the object during init - this way if the number of dependant objects changed in the future you wouldn't have to muck with how the primary object was instantiated since the factory would already have references to those dependant objects.

In other OO languages, you create an instance of an object by calling its constructor. They're not two distinct steps that can be done at different points.
