访问者模式

访问者模式（visitor pattern），是一种将算法与对象结构分离的软件设计模式。访问者模式使得在传统的单分派语言（如Smalltalk、Java和C++）中模拟双分派（英语：Double dispatch）技术。对于支持多分派的语言（如CLOS），访问者模式已经在其语言特性之中了，而不再重要。

概述

访问者模式是一个由许多对象构成的对象结构，这些对象的类都拥有一个accept方法用来接受访问者对象；访问者是一个接口，它有一个visit方法，这个方法对访问到的对象结构中不同类型的元素作出相應的動作；在对象结构的访问过程中，visit方法遍历整个对象结构，对每一个元素都实施accept方法，在每一个元素的accept方法中回调访问者的visit方法，从而使访问者得以处理对象结构的每一个元素。我们可以针对对象结构设计不同的实在的访问者类来完成不同的操作。

Java的例子

import java.util.List;

interface CarElement {
    void accept(CarElementVisitor visitor);
}

interface CarElementVisitor {
    void visit(Body body);
    void visit(Car car);
    void visit(Engine engine);
    void visit(Wheel wheel);
}

class Wheel implements CarElement {
    private final String name;
    public Wheel(final String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    @Override
    public void accept(CarElementVisitor visitor) {
        visitor.visit(this);
    }
}

class Body implements CarElement {
    @Override
    public void accept(CarElementVisitor visitor) {
        visitor.visit(this);
    }
}

class Engine implements CarElement {
    @Override
    public void accept(CarElementVisitor visitor) {
        visitor.visit(this);
    }
}

class Car implements CarElement {
    private final List<CarElement> elements;
    public Car() {
        this.elements = List.of(
            new Wheel("front left"), new Wheel("front right"),
            new Wheel("back left"), new Wheel("back right"),
            new Body(), new Engine()
        );
    }
    @Override
    public void accept(CarElementVisitor visitor) {
        for (CarElement element : elements) {
            element.accept(visitor);
        }
        visitor.visit(this);
    }
}

class CarElementDoVisitor implements CarElementVisitor {
    @Override
    public void visit(Body body) {
        System.out.println("Moving my body");
    }
    @Override
    public void visit(Car car) {
        System.out.println("Starting my car");
    }
    @Override
    public void visit(Wheel wheel) {
        System.out.println("Kicking my " + wheel.getName() + " wheel");
    }
    @Override
    public void visit(Engine engine) {
        System.out.println("Starting my engine");
    }
}

class CarElementPrintVisitor implements CarElementVisitor {
    @Override
    public void visit(Body body) {
        System.out.println("Visiting body");
    }
    @Override
    public void visit(Car car) {
        System.out.println("Visiting car");
    }
    @Override
    public void visit(Engine engine) {
        System.out.println("Visiting engine");
    }
    @Override
    public void visit(Wheel wheel) {
        System.out.println("Visiting " + wheel.getName() + " wheel");
    }
}

public class VisitorDemo {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        Car car = new Car();
        car.accept(new CarElementPrintVisitor());
        car.accept(new CarElementDoVisitor());
    }
}

Visiting back right wheel
Visiting body
Visiting engine
Visiting car
Kicking my front left wheel
Kicking my front right wheel
Kicking my back left wheel
