Hi, in the builder pattern typically the client directly fetches the built product from the concrete builder calling the getResult() method (cf. the seqence diagram I attached).
I wonder whether it would be better to let the director do this and return the product in its contruction method. I see two advantages: 1. the client does not have to know the concrete builder, 2. no synchronization is needed in case the client and the director work in parallel. Do I overlook something?
