抽象工厂与工厂方法的主要区别在于，抽象工厂是由组合实现的;但是工厂方法是通过继承实现的。

是的，您没有看错:这两种模式之间的主要区别在于古老的组合与继承之争。

UML图可以在(GoF)书中找到。我想提供代码示例，因为我认为将本文中前两个答案中的示例结合起来会比单独一个答案提供更好的演示。此外，我在类名和方法名中使用了书中的术语。

抽象工厂

The most important point to grasp here is that the abstract factory is injected into the client. This is why we say that Abstract Factory is implemented by Composition. Often, a dependency injection framework would perform that task; but a framework is not required for DI. The second critical point is that the concrete factories here are not Factory Method implementations! Example code for Factory Method is shown further below. And finally, the third point to note is the relationship between the products: in this case the outbound and reply queues. One concrete factory produces Azure queues, the other MSMQ. The GoF refers to this product relationship as a "family" and it's important to be aware that family in this case does not mean class hierarchy.

public class Client {
    private final AbstractFactory_MessageQueue factory;

    public Client(AbstractFactory_MessageQueue factory) {
        // The factory creates message queues either for Azure or MSMQ.
        // The client does not know which technology is used.
        this.factory = factory;
    }

    public void sendMessage() {
        //The client doesn't know whether the OutboundQueue is Azure or MSMQ.
        OutboundQueue out = factory.createProductA();
        out.sendMessage("Hello Abstract Factory!");
    }

    public String receiveMessage() {
        //The client doesn't know whether the ReplyQueue is Azure or MSMQ.
        ReplyQueue in = factory.createProductB();
        return in.receiveMessage();
    }
}

public interface AbstractFactory_MessageQueue {
    OutboundQueue createProductA();
    ReplyQueue createProductB();
}

public class ConcreteFactory_Azure implements AbstractFactory_MessageQueue {
    @Override
    public OutboundQueue createProductA() {
        return new AzureMessageQueue();
    }

    @Override
    public ReplyQueue createProductB() {
        return new AzureResponseMessageQueue();
    }
}

public class ConcreteFactory_Msmq implements AbstractFactory_MessageQueue {
    @Override
    public OutboundQueue createProductA() {
        return new MsmqMessageQueue();
    }

    @Override
    public ReplyQueue createProductB() {
        return new MsmqResponseMessageQueue();
    }
}

The most important point to grasp here is that the ConcreteCreator is the client. In other words, the client is a subclass whose parent defines the factoryMethod(). This is why we say that Factory Method is implemented by Inheritance. The second critical point is to remember that the Factory Method Pattern is nothing more than a specialization of the Template Method Pattern. The two patterns share an identical structure. They only differ in purpose. Factory Method is creational (it builds something) whereas Template Method is behavioral (it computes something). And finally, the third point to note is that the Creator (parent) class invokes its own factoryMethod(). If we remove anOperation() from the parent class, leaving only a single method behind, it is no longer the Factory Method pattern. In other words, Factory Method cannot be implemented with less than two methods in the parent class; and one must invoke the other.

public abstract class Creator {
    public void anOperation() {
        Product p = factoryMethod();
        p.whatever();
    }

    protected abstract Product factoryMethod();
}

public class ConcreteCreator extends Creator {
    @Override
    protected Product factoryMethod() {
        return new ConcreteProduct();
    }
}

请注意，尽管GoF定义了两种不同的工厂模式，但它们并不是唯一存在的工厂模式。它们甚至不一定是最常用的工厂模式。第三个著名的例子是Josh Bloch的《Effective Java》中的静态工厂模式。《头部优先设计模式》一书还包括另一种被称为简单工厂的模式。

不要落入假设每个工厂模式都必须匹配GoF中的一个模式的陷阱。

我的第一个问题是关于抽象工厂。它的角色是否允许您在其中创建一系列具体对象(这取决于您使用的具体工厂)，而不仅仅是单个具体对象?

是的。抽象工厂的目的是:

提供一个接口，用于创建一系列相关或依赖的对象，而无需指定它们的具体类。

根据调用的方法，抽象工厂只返回一个非常大的对象还是多个对象?

理想情况下，它应该为客户端调用的每个方法返回一个对象。

我的理解是，工厂方法模式有一个Creator接口，它将使ConcreteCreator负责知道要实例化哪个ConcreteProduct。这就是使用继承来处理对象实例化的意思吗?

是的。工厂方法使用继承。

抽象工厂模式委托对象实例化的责任通过组合到另一个对象?这是什么意思?

AbstractFactory定义了一个FactoryMethod，而ConcreteFactory负责构建一个ConcreteProduct。只需按照本文中的代码示例进行操作。

你可以在SE的相关文章中找到更多细节:

工厂模式和抽象工厂模式之间的基本区别是什么?

设计模式:工厂vs工厂方法vs抽象工厂

两者的区别

“工厂方法”和“抽象工厂”的主要区别在于，工厂方法是方法，而抽象工厂是对象。我想很多人都把这两个词搞混了，开始交替使用。我记得当我学习它们的时候，我很难找到它们之间的确切区别。

因为工厂方法只是一个方法，它可以在子类中被重写，因此引用的后半部分:

．.． 工厂方法模式使用的 继承并依赖于一个子类 来处理所需的对象 实例化。

引用假设对象在这里调用自己的工厂方法。因此，唯一可以改变返回值的是子类。

抽象工厂是一个具有多个工厂方法的对象。看看你引言的前半部分:

．.． 使用抽象工厂模式，一个类 委托对象的职责 实例化到另一个对象 作文……

他们说的是，有一个对象A，想要创建一个Foo对象。而不是创建Foo对象本身(例如，使用工厂方法)，它将获得一个不同的对象(抽象工厂)来创建Foo对象。

代码示例

为了向你展示区别，这里有一个正在使用的工厂方法:

class A {
    public void doSomething() {
        Foo f = makeFoo();
        f.whatever();   
    }

    protected Foo makeFoo() {
        return new RegularFoo();
    }
}

class B extends A {
    protected Foo makeFoo() {
        //subclass is overriding the factory method 
        //to return something different
        return new SpecialFoo();
    }
}

这是一个正在使用的抽象工厂:

class A {
    private Factory factory;

    public A(Factory factory) {
        this.factory = factory;
    }

    public void doSomething() {
        //The concrete class of "f" depends on the concrete class
        //of the factory passed into the constructor. If you provide a
        //different factory, you get a different Foo object.
        Foo f = factory.makeFoo();
        f.whatever();
    }
}

interface Factory {
    Foo makeFoo();
    Bar makeBar();
    Aycufcn makeAmbiguousYetCommonlyUsedFakeClassName();
}

//need to make concrete factories that implement the "Factory" interface here

抽象工厂创建了一个基类，其抽象方法定义了应该创建的对象的方法。派生基类的每个工厂类都可以创建每种对象类型的自己的实现。

工厂方法只是一个用于在类中创建对象的简单方法。它通常添加在聚合根中(Order类有一个名为CreateOrderLine的方法)

抽象工厂

在下面的示例中，我们设计了一个接口，这样我们就可以将队列创建与消息传递系统分离，因此可以为不同的队列系统创建实现，而不必更改代码库。

interface IMessageQueueFactory
{
  IMessageQueue CreateOutboundQueue(string name);
  IMessageQueue CreateReplyQueue(string name);
}

public class AzureServiceBusQueueFactory : IMessageQueueFactory
{
      IMessageQueue CreateOutboundQueue(string name)
      {
           //init queue
           return new AzureMessageQueue(/*....*/);
      }

      IMessageQueue CreateReplyQueue(string name)
      {
           //init response queue
           return new AzureResponseMessageQueue(/*....*/);
      }

}

public class MsmqFactory : IMessageQueueFactory
{
      IMessageQueue CreateOutboundQueue(string name)
      {
           //init queue
           return new MsmqMessageQueue(/*....*/);
      }

      IMessageQueue CreateReplyQueue(string name)
      {
           //init response queue
           return new MsmqResponseMessageQueue(/*....*/);
      }
}

工厂方法

HTTP服务器的问题在于，我们总是需要为每个请求提供响应。

public interface IHttpRequest
{
    // .. all other methods ..

    IHttpResponse CreateResponse(int httpStatusCode);
}

如果没有工厂方法，HTTP服务器用户(即程序员)将被迫使用特定于实现的类，这就违背了IHttpRequest接口的目的。

因此，我们引入工厂方法，以便响应类的创建也被抽象出来。

总结

区别在于，包含工厂方法的类的预期目的不是创建对象，而抽象工厂应该只用于创建对象。

使用工厂方法时应该小心，因为在创建对象时很容易破坏LSP(里斯科夫替换原则)。

比起工厂方法，我更喜欢抽象工厂。从Tom Dalling上面的例子(顺便说一句，解释得很好)中，我们可以看到抽象工厂是更可组合的，因为我们所需要做的只是将一个不同的工厂传递给构造函数(这里使用构造函数依赖注入)。但是工厂方法要求我们引入一个新类(需要管理更多的东西)并使用子类化。总是选择组合而不是继承。
