Message Opportunities…
- Remote Proxies
- Automatically forward any message to a remote object.
- Auto Loaders
- Stand in for an object until it gets its first message. Then load it and
act like a regular proxy. Great for autoloading database backed objects.
- Decorators
- Intercept the messages you want and pass the rest through.
- Mock Objects
- Just write the methods that need to be mocked. Proxy or ignore the others
as needed.
- Builders
- Generate XML/HTML/Whatever based on the methods called on the builder
