Ok.here is my builder :
class ToggleBuilder implements Builder{
private boolean label;
private boolean border;
private
String [] labels;
private String representation = "toggle";
private JComponent [] components;
private int layout;
private Decorator decorator;
private ResourceBundle resourceBundle;

* It sets the labels array but keep the component array.Each component is
* stored using a label.

*/

labels = labelsArray;
}
/**
* It sets the components array but keep the labels array.Each component is
* stored using a label.
*
* @param compArray <code>[] JComponent</code> the component array.
*/
public void setComponents(JComponent[] compArray) {
components = compArray;
}
/**
* It sets the components array and the labels array.Each component is
* stored using a label.
* @param labelsArray <code>[] String</code> the component array.
* @param compArray <code>[] JComponent</code> the component array.
*/
public void setComponents(String[] labelsArray, JComponent[] compArray) {
labels = labelsArray;
components = compArray;
}
/**

*
* @param withBorder boolean the border flag
*/

border = withBorder;
}
/**

*/
public void setLabel(boolean withLabel) {
label = withLabel;
}
/**

*/
public void setTitle(String title) {
representation = title;
}
public void setResourceBundle(ResourceBundle inRb) {
resourceBundle = inRb;
}
/**

*/
public void setLayout(int inLayout) {

}

*/
public void setOtherPropertiy(Object prop) {
butGrp = (ButtonGroup)prop;
}
/**
* After all the settings (fianlly) it gets the controller.
*
* @return <code>AbstractGUICController</code>the conroller
*/
public AbstractGUICController getResoult() {
return new ToggleController();
}
private class ToggleController extends AbstractGUICController {
private GUIModel mainModel;
public ToggleController() {
init();
}
public GUIModel getModel() {
return mainModel;
}
public JComponent getView() {
return getRepresentation(representation);
}
private void init() {
mainModel = new ToggleModel(resourceBundle);
if(decorator != null) {
decorator.decorate(mainModel);
}
JToggleButton tgButt = null;
if(components != null) {
tgButt = (JToggleButton)components[0];
} else {
tgButt = new JCheckBox();
}
if(butGrp != null) {
butGrp.add(tgButt);
}
add(labels != null ? labels[0] : "toggle" , tgButt);
add(labels != null ? labels[1] : "toggleExample", new JLabel());
setBorderFlag(border);
setLabelFlag(label);
setLayout(layout);
}
}
}
and here is the director :
public class ToggleDirector implements Director{
public static final int RADIO_BUTTON_X = 0;
public static final int RADIO_BUTTON_Y = 1;
public static final int CHECK_BOX_X = 2;
public static final int CHECK_BOX_Y = 3;
private int buildMode = -1;
private String compName = "toggle";
//@todo: in the future the "Delegator" must be on the "Director",The same with otherProp
private Decorator decorator;
private Object otherProp;
private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName());
public ToggleDirector(int mode, String toggleName, Decorator inDecorator,Object propt) {
buildMode = mode;
compName = toggleName;
decorator = inDecorator;
otherProp = propt;
}
/**
* It constructs an object(conroller) using the Builder interface.
*
* @return <code>AbstractGUICController</code> the product.
*/
public AbstractGUICController construct() {
//unimplemeted for the moment
Builder tmpBuilder = new ToggleBuilder();
return construct(tmpBuilder);
}
/**
* It constructs an object(conroller) using a specific Builder interface.
*
* @param inBuilder <code>Builder<code> the builder for ussing
* @return <code>AbstractGUICController</code> the product.
*/
public AbstractGUICController construct(Builder inBuilder) {
//general settings
inBuilder.setBorder(false);
inBuilder.setLabel(false);
inBuilder.setModelDecoarator(decorator);
inBuilder.setOtherPropertiy(otherProp);
String [] labels = new String[2];
JComponent [] comps = new JComponent[2];
labels[0] = compName;
labels[1] = "toggleExample";
comps[1] = new JLabel();
String msg = "Buldind mode is : " + buildMode;
log.log(Level.CONFIG, msg);
switch (buildMode) {
case RADIO_BUTTON_X :
comps[0] = new JRadioButton();
inBuilder.setLayout(GuiEngineConstants.BOX_X);
break;
case RADIO_BUTTON_Y :
comps[0] = new JRadioButton();
inBuilder.setLayout(GuiEngineConstants.BOX_Y);
break;
case CHECK_BOX_X :
comps[0] = new JCheckBox();
inBuilder.setLayout(GuiEngineConstants.BOX_X);
break;
case CHECK_BOX_Y :
comps[0] = new JCheckBox();
inBuilder.setLayout(GuiEngineConstants.BOX_Y);
}
inBuilder.setLabels(labels);
inBuilder.setComponents(comps);
return inBuilder.getResoult();
}
}
On the direcotr side I try to group together some properties(the layout and the (J)component type) but with all of this my constructor (director constructor) is still to complex.
I try also to encapsulate the parameter in to a "paramter object"(thanx for advice) and to reuse this to create new instances (via director).
