Collections.unmodifiableList()的使用与场景
在《重构——改善既有代码的设计》一书中,有一种重构手法叫Encapsulate Collection
(封装集群),为了演示该重构手法,我写了四个类,通过对比重构前后的代码,加深对
这一重构手法的理解。
类Student有一ArrayList属性,如果没有阅读《重构——改善既有代码的设计》一书,
很多人可能会像我一样,如下设计类Student。但是,如果通过Student.getCourses()
获得对ArrayList属性引用后,就可以任意为Student对象添加“课程”,而Student对象
对此一无所知,这不符合面向对象编程的习惯。
package com.readonlylist;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Student
{
private String name;
private ArrayList<String> courses;
public Student(String name, ArrayList<String> courses)
{
this.name = name;
this.courses = courses;
}
public ArrayList<String> getCourses()
{
return courses;
}
public void setCourses(ArrayList<String> courses)
{
this.courses = courses;
}
public String getName()
{
return name;
}
public void setName(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
package com.readonlylist;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("001");
list.add("002");
Student s = new Student("Tom", list);
ArrayList<String> anotherList = s.getCourses();
anotherList.add("999");
System.out.println("Tom's course.length = " + s.getCourses().size());
}
}
重构后的Student类如下所示:
package com.readonlylist;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
public class Student1
{
private String name;
private ArrayList<String> courses;
public Student1(String name, ArrayList<String> courses)
{
this.name = name;
this.courses = courses;
}
public String getName()
{
return name;
}
public void setName(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
public void addCourse(String course)
{
courses.add(course);
}
public String removeCourse(String course)
{
boolean removed = courses.remove(courses);
if (removed)
{
return course;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
public List<String> getCourses()
{
return Collections.unmodifiableList(courses);
}
}
package com.readonlylist;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Test1
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("001");
list.add("002");
Student1 s = new Student1("Tom", list);
List<String> anotherList = s.getCourses();
/**
* throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
* should replace with s.addCourse(String course)
*/
anotherList.add("999");
// never reached
System.out.println("Tom's course.length = " + s.getCourses().size());
}
}
重构后,Student1类,仅对外提供的getCourses()方法,而没有setCourses()方法,而且
通过getCourses()方法获得的courses是“只读的”,如果你试图向其添加一个新课程,则
抛出java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException。你必须通过Student1.addCourse()来
向特定的Student1对象添加一个新课程。就好像,你必须让顾客自己向购物车里放食物,
而不能在顾客毫不知情下,偷偷向其购物车里放食物。
真是万物皆通情理啊:)
