C - Component or wrapper element type

All Superinterfaces:

InvocationHandler

All Known Subinterfaces:

IAdapter<T,A>, IComposite<C>, IDecorator<C,D>, IProxy<S>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDecorator, AbstractProxy, AbstractSurrogate, Adapter, BorderDecorator, Composite, EntityManagerAdapter, EntityTransactionAdapter, HibernateQueryAdapter, HibernateSessionAdapter, HibernateTransactionAdapter, ImageProxy, JpaQueryAdapter, List2QueueAdapter, ScrollDecorator, SynchronizedProxy

public interface ISurrogate<C>
extends InvocationHandler

Base abstraction for any Design Pattern type whose structure is based on surrogation or wrapping. Surrogate Design Patterns are those that for some purpose wrap and provide to clients the same interface view of the actual wrapped Component interface.

Structural surrogate Patterns are:

• Adapter Pattern
• Composite Pattern
• Decorator Pattern
• Proxy Pattern
