The UML Profile for Framework Architectures
B.1 Factory Method pattern tags
Figure B.1 shows the static structure of the Template Method pattern (Gamma et al. 1995) annotated with UML-F tags. Table B.1 summarizes the Template Method pattern UML-F tags. Template Method is based on the Unification construction principle.
Figure B.1. Structure of the Factory Method pattern annotated with UML-F tags.
| Tags | FacM Creator , FacM facM , FacM anOp , FacM Product , FacM ConcreteProduct , FacM ConcreteCreator , and FacM facM |
| Apply to | As shown in Fig. B.2: Class ( FacM Creator , FacM Product , FacM ConcreteProduct , FacM ConcreteCreator ) Method ( FacM facM , FacM anOp , FacM facM ) Interface ( FacM Product ) |
| Type | String. |
| Expansion | The Factory Method pattern is based on the Unification principle and therefore its tags expand as follows: FacM Creator to Unif TH , FacM facM to Unif-t , and FacM anOp to Unif h . |
