设计模式之构建者模式（Builder）：初步理解

构建者（Builder）设计模式（又叫生成器设计模式）：

当一个类的内部数据过于复杂的时候（通常是负责持有数据的类，比如Config、VO、PO、Entity...），要创建的话可能就需要了解这个类的内部结构，还有这些东西是怎么组织装配等一大坨乱七八糟的东西，这个时候就会增加学习成本而且会很混乱，这个时候就想啊想一种什么法子来管理一下这个类中的数据呢，怎么在创建的时候让它按部就班的来，并且代码可读性很好别让我看花了眼啊，我要的东西也能都很好设置进来，这就是Builder模式的应用场景，Builder模式可以将一个类的构建和表示进行分离。

看一个例子：

public class Student {

    private int id;
    private String name;
    private String passwd;
    private String sex;
    private String address;

    // 构造器尽量缩小范围
    private Student() {
    }

    // 构造器尽量缩小范围
    private Student(Student origin) {
        // 拷贝一份
         this.id = origin.id;
        this.name = origin.name;
        this.passwd = origin.passwd;
        this.sex = origin.sex;
        this.address = origin.address;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getPasswd() {
        return passwd;
    }

    public String getSex() {
        return sex;
    }

    public String getAddress() {
        return address;
    }

    /**
     * Student的创建完全依靠Student.Builder，使用一种方法链的方式来创建
     *
     */
    public static class Builder {

        private Student target;

        public Builder() {
            target = new Student();
        }

        public Builder address(int id) {
            target.id = id;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder name(String name) {
            target.name = name;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder password(String passwd) {
            target.passwd = passwd;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder sex(String sex) {
            target.sex = sex;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder address(String address) {
            target.address = address;
            return this;
        }

        public Student build() {
            return new Student(target);
        }

    }

}

Student并不是直接new出来的，对其构造器进行了处理使其可访问范围尽可能的小，只让它通过Student.Builder来构建自己，在Student.Builder中提供了一种类set的方法链的方式来设置值，然后在最后的build()方法的时候会返回一个Student对象，现在要创建一个Student对象，代码如下：

Student s=new Student.Builder().name("CC").password("qwerty").sex("男").address("银河系第二旋臂").build();

再对比一下如果不使用构造者模式（一般情况下的用法）：

/**
 * 学生实体
 * @author CC11001100
 *
 */
public class Student {

    private int id;
    private String name;
    private String passwd;
    private String sex;
    private String address;

    public Student() {
    }

    public Student(String name, String passwd, String sex, String address) {
        super();
        this.name = name;
        this.passwd = passwd;
        this.sex = sex;
        this.address = address;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getPasswd() {
        return passwd;
    }

    public void setPasswd(String passwd) {
        this.passwd = passwd;
    }

    public String getSex() {
        return sex;
    }

    public void setSex(String sex) {
        this.sex = sex;
    }

    public String getAddress() {
        return address;
    }

    public void setAddress(String address) {
        this.address = address;
    }

}

创建对象：

Student s=new Student("CC","qwerty","男","银河系第二旋臂");

对比一下进行一个优劣性分析：

一般的套路：优点是比较简单，开发效率高，缺点是如果参数真的很多的话鬼知道每个对应的是什么意思啊。

Builder模式：优点是可以将构造器的setter方法名取成类似注释的方式，这样我们可以很清晰的知道刚才究竟设置的什么值，可读性较高，缺点是比较冗长。

总结：初步的理解Builder模式解决了要设置的参数过多不好管理的问题（感觉每次构建不同对象是废话 - -）。

从Struts2框架中拿出来的两个Builder模式的例子（都是Config类）：
