Abstract
In this chapter, I describe the decorator pattern, which allows the behavior of an object to be selectively modified at runtime. This pattern has a number of uses but has the most impact when working with classes that cannot be modified. The idea of selective modification means that you can choose which objects are changed and which retain their original functionality. Table 14-1 puts the decorator pattern into context.
