Visiteur en Java

Le Visiteur est un patron de conception comportemental qui permet d’ajouter de nouveaux comportements à une hiérarchie de classes sans modifier l’existant.

Découvrez pourquoi les visiteurs ne peuvent pas être remplacés par la surcharge de méthodes dans notre article Visiteur et double répartition.

Complexité :

Popularité :

Exemples d’utilisation : Le visiteur n’est pas un patron très répandu à cause de sa complexité et de la rareté de ses cas d’utilisation.

Voici quelques exemples tirés des bibliothèques principales de Java :

Exporter des formes en XML

Dans cet exemple, nous voulons exporter un ensemble de formes géométriques en XML. Le truc, c’est que nous ne voulons pas modifier le code des formes, ou tout du moins éviter au maximum d’y toucher.

Au final, le visiteur va établir une infrastructure qui nous permet d’ajouter n’importe quels comportements à la hiérarchie des formes sans toucher au code existant de ces classes.
