如果你想在使用方面创建一个不同的对象。它很有用。

public class factoryMethodPattern {
      static String planName = "COMMERCIALPLAN";
      static int units = 3;
      public static void main(String args[]) {
          GetPlanFactory planFactory = new GetPlanFactory();
          Plan p = planFactory.getPlan(planName);
          System.out.print("Bill amount for " + planName + " of  " + units
                        + " units is: ");
          p.getRate();
          p.calculateBill(units);
      }
}

abstract class Plan {
      protected double rate;

      abstract void getRate();

      public void calculateBill(int units) {
            System.out.println(units * rate);
      }
}

class DomesticPlan extends Plan {
      // @override
      public void getRate() {
            rate = 3.50;
      }
}

class CommercialPlan extends Plan {
      // @override
      public void getRate() {
            rate = 7.50;
      }
}

class InstitutionalPlan extends Plan {
      // @override
      public void getRate() {
            rate = 5.50;
      }
}

class GetPlanFactory {

      // use getPlan method to get object of type Plan
      public Plan getPlan(String planType) {
            if (planType == null) {
                  return null;
            }
            if (planType.equalsIgnoreCase("DOMESTICPLAN")) {
                  return new DomesticPlan();
            } else if (planType.equalsIgnoreCase("COMMERCIALPLAN")) {
                  return new CommercialPlan();
            } else if (planType.equalsIgnoreCase("INSTITUTIONALPLAN")) {
                  return new InstitutionalPlan();
            }
            return null;
      }
}

工厂方法应该被认为是构造函数的替代品——尤其是在构造函数表达能力不够的时候。

class Foo{
  public Foo(bool withBar);
}

表现力不如:

class Foo{
  public static Foo withBar();
  public static Foo withoutBar();
}

当你需要一个复杂的过程来构造对象时，当构造需要一个你不想要的实际类的依赖关系时，当你需要构造不同的对象时，工厂类是有用的。

我认为这取决于你想要给你的代码带来的松耦合程度。

工厂方法解耦得很好，但是工厂类不行。

换句话说，使用工厂方法比使用简单的工厂(称为工厂类)更容易更改内容。

看看这个例子:https://connected2know.com/programming/java-factory-pattern/。现在，想象一下你想要带来一个新的动物。在Factory类中，您需要更改Factory，但在Factory方法中，不需要，您只需要添加一个新的子类。

UML从

Product:它定义Factory方法创建的对象的接口。

ConcreteProduct:实现Product接口

创建者:声明Factory方法

ConcreateCreator:实现Factory方法以返回ConcreteProduct的实例

问题陈述:使用定义游戏界面的工厂方法创建游戏工厂。

代码片段:

import java.util.HashMap;


/* Product interface as per UML diagram */
interface Game{
    /* createGame is a complex method, which executes a sequence of game steps */
    public void createGame();
}

/* ConcreteProduct implementation as per UML diagram */
class Chess implements Game{
    public Chess(){

    }
    public void createGame(){
        System.out.println("---------------------------------------");
        System.out.println("Create Chess game");
        System.out.println("Opponents:2");
        System.out.println("Define 64 blocks");
        System.out.println("Place 16 pieces for White opponent");
        System.out.println("Place 16 pieces for Black opponent");
        System.out.println("Start Chess game");
        System.out.println("---------------------------------------");
    }
}
class Checkers implements Game{
    public Checkers(){

    }
    public void createGame(){
        System.out.println("---------------------------------------");
        System.out.println("Create Checkers game");
        System.out.println("Opponents:2 or 3 or 4 or 6");
        System.out.println("For each opponent, place 10 coins");
        System.out.println("Start Checkers game");
        System.out.println("---------------------------------------");
    }
}
class Ludo implements Game{
    public Ludo(){

    }
    public void createGame(){
        System.out.println("---------------------------------------");
        System.out.println("Create Ludo game");
        System.out.println("Opponents:2 or 3 or 4");
        System.out.println("For each opponent, place 4 coins");
        System.out.println("Create two dices with numbers from 1-6");
        System.out.println("Start Ludo game");
        System.out.println("---------------------------------------");
    }
}

/* Creator interface as per UML diagram */
interface IGameFactory {
    public Game getGame(String gameName);
}

/* ConcreteCreator implementation as per UML diagram */
class GameFactory implements IGameFactory {

     HashMap<String,Game> games = new HashMap<String,Game>();
    /*  
        Since Game Creation is complex process, we don't want to create game using new operator every time.
        Instead we create Game only once and store it in Factory. When client request a specific game, 
        Game object is returned from Factory instead of creating new Game on the fly, which is time consuming
    */

    public GameFactory(){

        games.put(Chess.class.getName(),new Chess());
        games.put(Checkers.class.getName(),new Checkers());
        games.put(Ludo.class.getName(),new Ludo());        
    }
    public Game getGame(String gameName){
        return games.get(gameName);
    }
}

public class NonStaticFactoryDemo{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        if ( args.length < 1){
            System.out.println("Usage: java FactoryDemo gameName");
            return;
        }

        GameFactory factory = new GameFactory();
        Game game = factory.getGame(args[0]);
        if ( game != null ){                    
            game.createGame();
            System.out.println("Game="+game.getClass().getName());
        }else{
            System.out.println(args[0]+  " Game does not exists in factory");
        }           
    }
}

输出:

java NonStaticFactoryDemo Chess
---------------------------------------
Create Chess game
Opponents:2
Define 64 blocks
Place 16 pieces for White opponent
Place 16 pieces for Black opponent
Start Chess game
---------------------------------------
Game=Chess

这个例子通过实现FactoryMethod展示了一个Factory类。

Game is the interface for all type of games. It defines complex method: createGame() Chess, Ludo, Checkers are different variants of games, which provide implementation to createGame() public Game getGame(String gameName) is FactoryMethod in IGameFactory class GameFactory pre-creates different type of games in constructor. It implements IGameFactory factory method. game Name is passed as command line argument to NotStaticFactoryDemo getGame in GameFactory accepts a game name and returns corresponding Game object.

工厂:

创建对象而不向客户端公开实例化逻辑。

FactoryMethod

定义一个用于创建对象的接口，但是让子类来决定实例化哪个类。Factory方法允许类延迟实例化到子类

用例:

何时使用:客户端不知道在运行时需要创建什么具体的类，而只是想获得一个可以完成这项工作的类。

当您需要几个具有相同参数类型但具有不同行为的“构造函数”时，它们也很有用。

任何将对象创建延迟到其需要使用的对象的子类的类都可以视为Factory模式的示例。
