用一個中介對象來封裝一系列的對象交互。Mediator使各對象不需要顯示的相互引用，從而使其耦合松散，以便可以獨立地改變他們之間的交互。
Object-oriented design encourages the distribution of behavior among objects. Such distribution can result in an object structure with many connections between objects; in the worst case, every object ends up knowing about every other.
Though partitioning a system into many objects generally enhances reusability, proliferating interconnections tend to reduce it again. Lots of interconnections make it less likely that an object can work without the support of others—the system acts as though it were monolithic. Moreover, it can be difficult to change the system's behavior in any significant way, since behavior is distributed among many objects. As a result, you may be forced to define many subclasses to customize the system's behavior.
在軟件構(gòu)建過程中，經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)多個對象相互關(guān)聯(lián)交互的情況，對象之間常常會維持一種復(fù)雜的引用關(guān)系，如果遇到一些需求的更改，這種直接的引用關(guān)系將面臨不斷的變化。在這種情況下，我們可以使用一個“中介對象”來管理對象間的關(guān)聯(lián)關(guān)系，避免相互交互的對象之間的緊耦合的引用關(guān)系，從而更好地駕馭變化。
依賴關(guān)系的轉(zhuǎn)化示例：
1. 5個類相互之間兩兩相互依賴； 1. 5各類彼此之間沒有直接的依賴關(guān)系；
2. 共有10個關(guān)系需要維護(hù)； 2. 共有5個關(guān)系需要維護(hù)；
3. 如果任意其中一個類發(fā)生了改 3. 如果任意其中一個類發(fā)生了改變，那么
變，那么另外4個類，度需要 只需要修改Mediator即可，其它4個
隨之改變； 類可以維持不變；
4. 如果要增加一個新類F，那么需要 4. 如果要增加一個類F，那么要維護(hù)的關(guān)系
維護(hù)的關(guān)系數(shù)量將變?yōu)?/span>15，并且 數(shù)量將變?yōu)?/span>6，原有的5個類不需要做任
原有的5個類均需要做相應(yīng)改變。 和改變，僅需改變Mediator即可。
Applicability:
- A set of objects communicate in well-defined but complex ways. The resulting interdependencies are unstructed and difficult to understand.
- Resuing an object is difficult because it refers to and communicates with many other objects.
- A behavior that’s distributed between several classes should be customizable without a lot of subclassing.
Participants:
- Mediator:
Defines an interface for communicating with Colleague objects.
- ConcreteMediator:
Implements cooperative behavior by coordinatiing Colleague objects.
Knows and maintains its colleagues.
- Colleagues
Each Colleague class knows its Mediator object.
Each colleague communicates with its mediator whenever it would have otherwise communicated with another colleague.
業(yè)務(wù)示例：假定有如下圖所示的界面：
RadioButtons包含了4個單選，CheckBoxes包含了4個復(fù)選框，ComboBox中有4個選項。先假定：
如果RadioButtons中選擇了Roption1，那么CheckBoxes中的Coption1就會被選中，ComboBox中的ComOption1就會被選中；如果CheckBoxes中的COption1被選中，那么RadioButtons中的ROption1和ComboBox中的ComOption1就會被選中；如果ComboBox中的ComOption1被選中，那么RadioButtons中的ROption1和CheckBoxes中的Coption1就會被選中。以此類推。另外在這里，RadioButtons和其中的單選按鈕被看成是一個對象，4個單選按鈕可視為RadioButtons的4個狀態(tài)；CheckBoxes和ComboBox也是如此。
還有一個假設(shè)：
CheckBoxes和ComboBox分別只能選擇其中一項(即“復(fù)選框”也不能“復(fù)選”，與其實際功能不符，純?yōu)檠芯坑?/span>)
優(yōu)點：
- 將多對多的關(guān)系轉(zhuǎn)化為一對多的關(guān)系，使對象之間的關(guān)系更易于維護(hù)；
- 將對象的行為和協(xié)作抽象化。
缺點：
- 雖然降低了同事類的復(fù)雜性，但增加了調(diào)停者對象的復(fù)雜性；
- 同事類的復(fù)用性是以調(diào)停者類的不可復(fù)用為代價的。
