Let's say I want to construct an instance of the following object:
private class ComplexObject {
private int param1; // Required Parameter
private int param2; // Required Parameter
private int param3; // Required Parameter
private List<Integer> listParam4; // This list should contain atleast one Integer
private ComplexObject() {
this.listParam4 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
}
}
I'm trying to use the Step Builder pattern to construct this object, so that a user sets the value of the parameters in order. The main problem that I'm facing is with creating an interface for the last step. I want to expose the build()
method after the user has provided atleast one integer that I can add in listParam4
. At the same time I also want to give the user the option of providing more integers to add to the list before calling the build()
method. I would really appreciate if someone can provide me a way of doing this or suggest an alternative approach in case I'm approaching this problem incorrectly.
Here is the code that I currently have to achieve this:
public interface SetParam1Step {
SetParam2Step setParam1(int param1);
}
public interface SetParam2Step {
SetParam3Step setParam2(int param2);
}
public interface SetParam3Step {
AddToParam4ListStep setParam3(int param3);
}
public interface AddToParam4ListStep {
// Not sure how to create this interface
}
public static class ComplexObjectBuilder implements SetParam1Step, SetParam2Step, SetParam3Step, AddToParam4ListStep {
private int param1;
private int param2;
private int param3;
private List<Integer> listParam4;
private ComplexObjectBuilder() {
// Prevent Instantiation
}
@Override
public AddToParam4ListStep setParam3(int param3) {
this.param3 = param3;
return this;
}
@Override
public SetParam3Step setParam2(int param2) {
this.param2 = param2;
return this;
}
@Override
public SetParam2Step setParam1(int param1) {
this.param1 = param1;
return this;
}
// Needs to implement the build() method and the methods that would eventually be added to the AddToParam4ListStep interface.
public static SetParam1Step newInstance() {
return new ComplexObjectBuilder();
}
}
