Mediator Pattern

Mediator Pattern 


Gamma Categorization: Behavioral Design Pattern
Summary: Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and it lets you vary their interaction independently.

Sample Code

Problem: We want to apply several commands on the digital camera.

Code

public class Person
{
    public string Name;
    public ChatRoom Room;
    private List<string> chatLog = new List<string>();

    public Person(string name)
    {
        Name = name;
    }

    public void Receive(string sender, string message)
    {
        string s = $"{sender}: '{message}'";
        System.Console.WriteLine($"[{Name}'s chat session] {s}");
        chatLog.Add(s);
    }

    public void Say(string message)
    {
        Room.Broadcast(Name, message);
    }

    public void PrivateMessage(string who, string message)
    {
        Room.Message(Name, who, message);
    }
}

public class ChatRoom
{
    private List<Person> people = new List<Person>();

    public void Broadcast(string source, string message)
    {
        foreach (var p in people)
            if (p.Name != source)
                p.Receive(source, message);
    }

    public void Join(Person p)
    {
        string joinMsg = $"{p.Name} joins the chat";
        Broadcast("room", joinMsg);

        p.Room = this;
        people.Add(p);
    }

    public void Message(string source, string destination, string message)
    {
        people.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == destination)?.Receive(source, message);
    }
}

Usage

var room = new ChatRoom();

var admin = new Person("Admin");
var user1 = new Person("User1");
var user2 = new Person("User2");

room.Join(admin);
room.Join(user1);
room.Join(user2);

user1.Say("hi room");
user2.Say("oh, hey user1");

var guru = new Person("guru");
room.Join(guru);
guru.Say("hi everyone!");

user1.PrivateMessage("guru", "I need some info...");

Output

[Admin's chat session] room: 'User1 joins the chat'
[Admin's chat session] room: 'User2 joins the chat'
[User1's chat session] room: 'User2 joins the chat'
[Admin's chat session] User1: 'hi room'
[User2's chat session] User1: 'hi room'
[Admin's chat session] User2: 'oh, hey user1'
[User1's chat session] User2: 'oh, hey user1'
[Admin's chat session] room: 'guru joins the chat'
[User1's chat session] room: 'guru joins the chat'
[User2's chat session] room: 'guru joins the chat'
[Admin's chat session] guru: 'hi everyone!'
[User1's chat session] guru: 'hi everyone!'
[User2's chat session] guru: 'hi everyone!'
[guru's chat session] User1: 'I need some info...'

XML Webservice (ASMX) - SOAP Request and Response Invocation logging

You are an integration developer. Eventualy you came into the state where there is nothing else you can debug, and you have to check which SOAP request it is built on the request, and which SOAP response you are getting from the server. C# XML Webservice (ASMX) - SOAP Request and Response Invocation logging In the legaccy .NET framework System.Web.Services , this means using soapExtensions to help you intersept the interaction with the webservice. This is done like so:  public class TraceExtension : SoapExtension     {         Stream oldStream;         Stream newStream;         string filename;         // Save the Stream representing the SOAP request or SOAP response into          // a local memory buffer.          public override Stream ChainStream(Stream stream)         {             oldStream = stream;             newStream = new MemoryStream();             return newStream;         }         // When the SOAP extension is accessed for the first time, the XML Web
