Code: Detailed Implementation of Classes Based on Each Design Pattern Mentioned Above
Function Execution:
We can apply the Command Pattern to represent function execution as a command object.
// Command Pattern
interface Command {
void execute();
}
class FunctionExecutionCommand implements Command {
private Function function;
public FunctionExecutionCommand(Function function) {
this.function = function;
}
@Override
public void execute() {
function.execute();
}
}
public class Function {
public void execute() {
// Function logic
System.out.println("Function executed!");
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Command command = new FunctionExecutionCommand(new Function());
command.execute();
}
}
Scalability:
To handle scalability, we can use the Strategy Pattern to encapsulate different scaling strategies.
// Strategy Pattern
interface ScalingStrategy {
void scale(int newThreads);
}
class ThreadPoolScalingStrategy implements ScalingStrategy {
private ExecutorService executorService;
public ThreadPoolScalingStrategy(ExecutorService executorService) {
this.executorService = executorService;
}
@Override
public void scale(int newThreads) {
((ThreadPoolExecutor) executorService).setCorePoolSize(newThreads);
}
}
public class ScalableFunctionExecutor {
private ExecutorService executorService;
private ScalingStrategy scalingStrategy;
public ScalableFunctionExecutor(int initialThreads) {
executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(initialThreads);
scalingStrategy = new ThreadPoolScalingStrategy(executorService);
}
public void execute(Function function) {
executorService.submit(function);
}
public void scale(int newThreads) {
scalingStrategy.scale(newThreads);
}
public void shutdown() {
executorService.shutdown();
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ScalableFunctionExecutor executor = new ScalableFunctionExecutor(5); // Initial 5 threads
Function function = new Function();
executor.execute(function);
executor.scale(8); // Adjust thread pool size to 8 threads
executor.shutdown();
}
}
Event Sources:
We can use the Observer Pattern to handle event-driven architecture for various event sources.
// Observer Pattern
interface Observer {
void update(String event);
}
class EventSource {
private List<Observer> observers = new ArrayList<>();
public void attach(Observer observer) {
observers.add(observer);
}
public void detach(Observer observer) {
observers.remove(observer);
}
public void notify(String event) {
for (Observer observer : observers) {
observer.update(event);
}
}
public void triggerEvent(String event) {
notify(event);
}
}
class EventListener implements Observer {
private String name;
public EventListener(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
@Override
public void update(String event) {
System.out.println("Event Listener " + name + " received event: " + event);
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventSource eventSource = new EventSource();
Observer listener1 = new EventListener("Listener 1");
Observer listener2 = new EventListener("Listener 2");
eventSource.attach(listener1);
eventSource.attach(listener2);
eventSource.triggerEvent("Event A");
eventSource.triggerEvent("Event B");
}
}
Isolation:
For ensuring functions run in isolated environments, we can utilize the Singleton Pattern to manage container instances.
// Singleton Pattern
class ContainerManager {
private static ContainerManager instance;
private ContainerManager() {
// Initialize container manager
}
public static ContainerManager getInstance() {
if (instance == null) {
synchronized (ContainerManager.class) {
if (instance == null) {
instance = new ContainerManager();
}
}
}
return instance;
}
public void createContainer(String functionName) {
System.out.println("Creating container for function: " + functionName);
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ContainerManager containerManager = ContainerManager.getInstance();
containerManager.createContainer("Function A");
}
}
Resource Management:
We can use the Factory Pattern to create instances of function environments and executions.
// Factory Pattern
interface FunctionFactory {
Function createFunction();
}
class SimpleFunctionFactory implements FunctionFactory {
@Override
public Function createFunction() {
return new SimpleFunction();
}
}
class ComplexFunctionFactory implements FunctionFactory {
@Override
public Function createFunction() {
return new ComplexFunction();
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FunctionFactory factory = new SimpleFunctionFactory();
Function function = factory.createFunction();
function.execute();
}
}
Logging and Monitoring:
For logging and monitoring, we can utilize the Decorator Pattern to add logging functionality dynamically.
// Decorator Pattern
interface Function {
void execute();
}
class SimpleFunction implements Function {
@Override
public void execute() {
System.out.println("Executing simple function");
}
}
class LoggingDecorator implements Function {
private Function function;
public LoggingDecorator(Function function) {
this.function = function;
}
@Override
public void execute() {
System.out.println("Logging: Function execution started");
function.execute();
System.out.println("Logging: Function execution finished");
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Function function = new SimpleFunction();
Function decoratedFunction = new LoggingDecorator(function);
decoratedFunction.execute();
}
}
Security:
For implementing security measures, we can apply the Proxy Pattern to control access to the function.
// Proxy Pattern
interface Function {
void execute();
}
class RealFunction implements Function {
@Override
public void execute() {
System.out.println("Executing real function");
}
}
class FunctionProxy implements Function {
private RealFunction realFunction;
private String user;
public FunctionProxy(String user) {
this.user = user;
realFunction = new RealFunction();
}
@Override
public void execute() {
if (user.equals("admin")) {
realFunction.execute();
} else {
System.out.println("Unauthorized access");
}
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Function function = new FunctionProxy("admin"); // Change user to test access
function.execute();
}
}
Environment Variables:
For supporting environment variables for functions, we can utilize the Adapter Pattern to adapt the environment variables interface.
// Adapter Pattern
interface Environment {
String getVariable(String key);
}
class EnvironmentManager {
public String getVariable(String key) {
// Logic to retrieve environment variable
return System.getenv(key);
}
}
class FunctionWithEnvAdapter implements Function {
private Environment environment;
public FunctionWithEnvAdapter(Environment environment) {
this.environment = environment;
}
@Override
public void execute() {
String dbHost = environment.getVariable("DB_HOST");
System.out.println("DB Host: " + dbHost);
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
EnvironmentManager environmentManager = new EnvironmentManager();
Function function = new FunctionWithEnvAdapter(environmentManager);
function.execute();
}
}
Concurrency Control:
For limiting the number of concurrent executions of a function, we can use the Singleton Pattern to ensure only one instance of the concurrency controller is created.
// Singleton Pattern
class ConcurrencyController {
private static ConcurrencyController instance;
private Semaphore semaphore;
private ConcurrencyController(int maxConcurrentExecutions) {
semaphore = new Semaphore(maxConcurrentExecutions);
}
public static ConcurrencyController getInstance(int maxConcurrentExecutions) {
if (instance == null) {
synchronized (ConcurrencyController.class) {
if (instance == null) {
instance = new ConcurrencyController(maxConcurrentExecutions);
}
}
}
return instance;
}
public void execute(Function function) throws InterruptedException {
semaphore.acquire();
try {
function.execute();
} finally {
semaphore.release();
}
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
ConcurrencyController controller = ConcurrencyController.getInstance(3); // Max 3 concurrent executions
Function function = new Function();
controller.execute(function);
}
}
Timeouts:
To define maximum execution times for functions, we can utilize the Observer Pattern to notify observers when the timeout occurs.
// Observer Pattern
interface TimeoutObserver {
void onTimeout();
}
class TimeoutFunction implements Function, Runnable {
private final long timeout;
private final TimeUnit unit;
private TimeoutObserver observer;
public TimeoutFunction(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) {
this.timeout = timeout;
this.unit = unit;
}
public void setObserver(TimeoutObserver observer) {
this.observer = observer;
}
@Override
public void execute() {
Thread thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
}
@Override
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(unit.toMillis(timeout));
observer.onTimeout();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
// Example usage
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
TimeoutFunction function = new TimeoutFunction(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
function.setObserver(() -> System.out.println("Function execution timed out"));
function.execute();
}
}
