建造者模式在程序设计中经常被运用，下面是建造者模式的概述。
意图：将一个复杂的构建与其表示相分离，使得同样的构建过程可以创建不同的表示。
主要解决：主要解决在软件系统中，有时候面临着"一个复杂对象"的创建工作，其通常由各个部分的子对象用一定的算法构成；由于需求的变化，这个复杂对象的各个部分经常面临着剧烈的变化，但是将它们组合在一起的算法却相对稳定。
何时使用：一些基本部件不会变，而其组合经常变化的时候。
如何解决：将变与不变分离开。
关键代码：建造者：创建和提供实例，导演：管理建造出来的实例的依赖关系。
应用实例： 1、去肯德基，汉堡、可乐、薯条、炸鸡翅等是不变的，而其组合是经常变化的，生成出所谓的"套餐"。 2、JAVA 中的 StringBuilder。
说来复杂，其实要实现一个也很简单。
跟标准模式相似，不同之处是建造者模式可以直接用本身的复杂组合。
Java web系统多数都有MySQL表转实体类的组件，直接把生成的实体类的setter返回类型改成实体类本身，返回对象改成本身（this），一个属性也是组合，也能做成一个类builder，跟builder类似的地方是这个对象也可以链式调用改属性的函数；不同的是这个User本身不是单独的builder，且不是延迟build（构造对象）。
1 public class User { 2 3 private Integer id; 4 5 private String password; 6 7 private String username; 8 9 private Integer userIdentity; 10 11 private String userMobile; 12 13 private String classId; 14 15 /** 16 * 班级ID 17 */ 18 @Column(name = "`class_id`") 19 @ApiModelProperty(value = "班级ID（id1,id2,id3...）",example = "班级ID（id1,id2,id3...）",required = false) 20 private String classId; 21 22 public Integer getId() { 23 return id; 24 } 25 26 public User setId(Integer id) { 27 this.id = id; 28 return this; 29 } 30 31 public String getPassword() { 32 return password; 33 } 34 35 public User setPassword(String password) { 36 this.password = password; 37 return this; 38 } 39 40 public String getUsername() { 41 return username; 42 } 43 44 public User setUsername(String username) { 45 this.username = username; 46 return this; 47 } 48 49 public Integer getUserIdentity() { 50 return userIdentity; 51 } 52 53 public User setUserIdentity(Integer userIdentity) { 54 this.userIdentity = userIdentity; 55 return this; 56 } 57 58 public String getUserMobile() { 59 return userMobile; 60 } 61 62 public User setUserMobile(String userMobile) { 63 this.userMobile = userMobile; 64 return this; 65 } 66 67 public String getClassId() { 68 return classId; 69 } 70 71 public User setClassId(String classId) { 72 this.classId = classId; 73 return this; 74 } 75 }
（当然这里不推荐用这种方式，一般用withXXX这种函数名格式，setXXX用这个不符合规范）
当然这么做也有问题。如果这个User不是单纯在本地程序中使用，还需要请求外部返回数据（这里builder化的实体类也可以与MySQL交互），并且返回实体类的数据结构与请求的数据结构不同（很多rest API的请求数据结构就是这样），请求的builder和响应的实体类也要区分开。User的builder就要这样写：
1 public class UserBuilder { 2 3 private Integer id; 4 5 private String password; 6 7 private String username; 8 9 private Integer userIdentity; 10 11 private String userMobile; 12 13 private String classId; 14 15 public User build(){ 16 User user = new User(); 17 user.id = id; 18 user.password = password; 19 user.username = username; 20 user.userIdentity = userIdentity; 21 user.userMobile = userMobile; 22 user.classId = classId; 23 return user; 24 } 25 26 /** 27 * 班级ID 28 */ 29 @Column(name = "`class_id`") 30 @ApiModelProperty(value = "班级ID（id1,id2,id3...）",example = "班级ID（id1,id2,id3...）",required = false) 31 private String classId; 32 33 public Integer getId() { 34 return id; 35 } 36 37 public User withId(Integer id) { 38 this.id = id; 39 return this; 40 } 41 42 public String getPassword() { 43 return password; 44 } 45 46 public User withPassword(String password) { 47 this.password = password; 48 return this; 49 } 50 51 public String getUsername() { 52 return username; 53 } 54 55 public User withUsername(String username) { 56 this.username = username; 57 return this; 58 } 59 60 public Integer getUserIdentity() { 61 return userIdentity; 62 } 63 64 public User withUserIdentity(Integer userIdentity) { 65 this.userIdentity = userIdentity; 66 return this; 67 } 68 69 public String getUserMobile() { 70 return userMobile; 71 } 72 73 public User withUserMobile(String userMobile) { 74 this.userMobile = userMobile; 75 return this; 76 } 77 78 public String getClassId() { 79 return classId; 80 } 81 82 public User withClassId(String classId) { 83 this.classId = classId; 84 return this; 85 } 86 }
对应的User就可以按照返回的数据结构定制了。
还有一种情况，请求的数据结构比较复杂，某些属性下还有字典和数组，这种情况类似于汽车的生产，里面有些部件不是标准的，一定要预先搭建好（对应于某些属性下的字典），有些组件还不止一个（对应于某些属性下的数组），有些组件如果要修改，与之相关的组件也要进行改动（对象内属性关联修改），那时就需要给类设定一次设置好相关属性的函数。
像连接kubernetes创建副本控制器（replicationController）的builder，就使用了批量设置复杂对象的函数。
创建副本控制器的builder：
1 package io.kubernetes.client.models; 2 3 import io.kubernetes.client.fluent.*; 4 5 public class V1ReplicationControllerBuilder extends V1ReplicationControllerFluentImpl<V1ReplicationControllerBuilder> implements VisitableBuilder<V1ReplicationController, V1ReplicationControllerBuilder> 6 { 7 V1ReplicationControllerFluent<?> fluent; 8 Boolean validationEnabled; 9 10 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder() { 11 this(Boolean.valueOf(true)); 12 } 13 14 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final Boolean validationEnabled) { 15 this(new V1ReplicationController(), validationEnabled); 16 } 17 18 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final V1ReplicationControllerFluent<?> fluent) { 19 this(fluent, Boolean.valueOf(true)); 20 } 21 22 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final V1ReplicationControllerFluent<?> fluent, final Boolean validationEnabled) { 23 this(fluent, new V1ReplicationController(), validationEnabled); 24 } 25 26 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final V1ReplicationControllerFluent<?> fluent, final V1ReplicationController instance) { 27 this(fluent, instance, true); 28 } 29 30 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final V1ReplicationControllerFluent<?> fluent, final V1ReplicationController instance, final Boolean validationEnabled) { 31 (this.fluent = fluent).withApiVersion(instance.getApiVersion()); 32 fluent.withKind(instance.getKind()); 33 fluent.withMetadata(instance.getMetadata()); 34 fluent.withSpec(instance.getSpec()); 35 fluent.withStatus(instance.getStatus()); 36 this.validationEnabled = validationEnabled; 37 } 38 39 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final V1ReplicationController instance) { 40 this(instance, Boolean.valueOf(true)); 41 } 42 43 public V1ReplicationControllerBuilder(final V1ReplicationController instance, final Boolean validationEnabled) { 44 ((V1ReplicationControllerFluentImpl<V1ReplicationControllerFluent>)(this.fluent = this)).withApiVersion(instance.getApiVersion()); 45 this.withKind(instance.getKind()); 46 this.withMetadata(instance.getMetadata()); 47 this.withSpec(instance.getSpec()); 48 this.withStatus(instance.getStatus()); 49 this.validationEnabled = validationEnabled; 50 } 51 52 @Override 53 public V1ReplicationController build() { 54 final V1ReplicationController buildable = new V1ReplicationController(); 55 buildable.setApiVersion(this.fluent.getApiVersion()); 56 buildable.setKind(this.fluent.getKind()); 57 buildable.setMetadata(this.fluent.getMetadata()); 58 buildable.setSpec(this.fluent.getSpec()); 59 buildable.setStatus(this.fluent.getStatus()); 60 return buildable; 61 } 62 63 @Override 64 public boolean equals(final Object o) { 65 if (this == o) { 66 return true; 67 } 68 if (o == null || this.getClass() != o.getClass()) { 69 return false; 70 } 71 if (!super.equals(o)) { 72 return false; 73 } 74 final V1ReplicationControllerBuilder that = (V1ReplicationControllerBuilder)o; 75 Label_0088: { 76 if (this.fluent != null && this.fluent != this) { 77 if (this.fluent.equals(that.fluent)) { 78 break Label_0088; 79 } 80 } 81 else if (that.fluent == null || this.fluent == this) { 82 break Label_0088; 83 } 84 return false; 85 } 86 if (this.validationEnabled != null) { 87 if (this.validationEnabled.equals(that.validationEnabled)) { 88 return true; 89 } 90 } 91 else if (that.validationEnabled == null) { 92 return true; 93 } 94 return false; 95 } 96 }
这里只声明了构造函数和build函数，属性的变更是继承ReplicationController的：

这样既可实现比较简单的builder，又无需重复编写代码，复用对应的实体类函数。
