这种特殊的模式称为方法链接。维基百科的链接，这有更多的解释和例子，如何在各种编程语言中完成。

附注:只是想把它留在这里，因为我正在寻找具体的名字。

我支持setter使用"this"返回。我不在乎它是否与豆子兼容。对我来说，如果有“=”表达式/语句是可以的，那么返回值的setter是可以的。

我同意所有声称这破坏了JavaBeans规范的帖子。有理由保留这一点，但我也觉得使用这个构建器模式(上面提到的)有它的一席之地;只要不是到处都用，就应该是可以接受的。对我来说，“It’s Place”的终点是对“build()”方法的调用。

There are other ways of setting all these things of course, but the advantage here is that it avoids 1) many-parameter public constructors and 2) partially-specified objects. Here, you have the builder collect what's needed and then call its "build()" at the end, which can then ensure that a partially-specified object is not constructed, since that operation can be given less-than-public visibility. The alternative would be "parameter objects", but that IMHO just pushes the problem back one level.

我不喜欢多形参构造函数，因为它们更有可能传入大量相同类型的实参，从而更容易将错误的实参传递给形参。我不喜欢使用大量的setter，因为对象可以在完全配置之前使用。此外，使用“build()”方法更好地实现基于先前选择的默认值的概念。

总之，我认为这是一个很好的实践，如果使用得当。

总结:

它被称为“流畅接口”或“方法链接”。 这不是“标准”Java，尽管你现在看到的越来越多(在jQuery中工作得很好) 它违反了JavaBean规范，因此它将与各种工具和库分开，特别是JSP构建器和Spring。 它可能会阻止JVM通常会做的一些优化 一些人认为它能清理代码，另一些人认为它“可怕”

还有一些没有提到的要点:

This violates the principal that each function should do one (and only one) thing. You may or may not believe in this, but in Java I believe it works well. IDEs aren't going to generate these for you (by default). I finally, here's a real-world data point. I have had problems using a library built like this. Hibernate's query builder is an example of this in an existing library. Since Query's set* methods are returning queries, it's impossible to tell just by looking at the signature how to use it. For example: Query setWhatever(String what); It introduces an ambiguity: does the method modify the current object (your pattern) or, perhaps Query is really immutable (a very popular and valuable pattern), and the method is returning a new one. It just makes the library harder to use, and many programmers don't exploit this feature. If setters were setters, it would be clearer how to use it.

如果在整个应用程序中使用相同的约定，则似乎没有问题。

另一方面，如果应用程序的现有部分使用标准约定，我会坚持下去，并向更复杂的类添加构建器

public class NutritionalFacts {
    private final int sodium;
    private final int fat;
    private final int carbo;

    public int getSodium(){
        return sodium;
    }

    public int getfat(){
        return fat;
    }

    public int getCarbo(){
        return carbo;
    }

    public static class Builder {
        private int sodium;
        private int fat;
        private int carbo;

        public Builder sodium(int s) {
            this.sodium = s;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder fat(int f) {
            this.fat = f;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder carbo(int c) {
            this.carbo = c;
            return this;
        }

        public NutritionalFacts build() {
            return new NutritionalFacts(this);
        }
    }

    private NutritionalFacts(Builder b) {
        this.sodium = b.sodium;
        this.fat = b.fat;
        this.carbo = b.carbo;
    }
}

它不仅打破了getter /setter的惯例，还打破了Java 8方法参考框架。MyClass::setMyValue是一个BiConsumer<MyClass,MyValue>， myInstance::setMyValue是一个Consumer<MyValue>。如果你让你的setter返回这个，那么它就不再是Consumer<MyValue>的有效实例，而是Function<MyValue,MyClass>，并且会导致任何使用这些setter的方法引用(假设它们是void方法)的事情中断。
