## Also known as
|
||||
Post pattern, Extension Object pattern
|
||||
|
||||
## Intent
|
||||
Adapt an object to different client’s needs through transparently attached role objects, each one representing a role
|
||||
the object has to play in that client’s context. The object manages its role set dynamically. By representing roles as
|
||||
individual objects, different contexts are kept separate and system configuration is simplified.
|
||||
|
||||
## Applicability
|
||||
Use the Role Object pattern, if:
|
||||
- you want to handle a key abstraction in different contexts and you do not want to put the resulting context specific interfaces into the same class interface.
|
||||
- you want to handle the available roles dynamically so that they can be attached and removed on demand, that is at runtime, rather than fixing them statically at compile-time.
|
||||
- you want to treat the extensions transparently and need to preserve the logical object identity of the resultingobject conglomerate.
|
||||
- you want to keep role/client pairs independent from each other so that changes to a role do not affect clients that are not interested in that role.
