Abstract

In this chapter, I describe the abstract factory pattern. This pattern is similar to the factory method pattern that I described in Chapter 9 but allows a calling component to obtain a family or group of related objects without needing to know which classes were used to create them. Table 10-1 puts the abstract factory pattern in context.
