http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33006 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-01-14 16:03 ------- In response to William's earlier comments ... Having a method implement two or more "command" methods is still in keeping with the spirit of the Command pattern (IMO). I would tend to agree with some of your points when it comes to the use of a single DispatchCommand (especially about the method being arbitrary.) But I think it becomes much more powerful when you consider a chain of dispatch commands. Consider you have a group of commands with a foo() and bar() method. Now you can group these together into a single chain. Then whatever code is calling the chain can execute either the foo() "sequence" or the bar() sequence ( or both - one at a time obviously). You've effectively established the common "command" method to execute dynamically but its definitely not arbitrary in this case. I definitely have some uses for this in my code right now. There are cases where I could have a command related to each section of a document that is managed by my app. These commands can inherit from a common abstract command that defines the dispatch methods that need to be provided. Each time you add a new section to a document, you just create a new command that extends the abstract one and add it to the catalog. You have a single catalog to maintain and the rest of the code that knows what method in the chain to call and when remains untouched. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
