Framework<ToolKit>

Frameworks are defined as incomplete applications. It allows specialized features to be added to commonly-used functionality to become complete. The facilities provided by Framework<ToolKit> are common solutions, i.e. implementations of design patterns, for common problems usually experienced by most developers.

Framework<ToolKit> contains a set of classes that provides the following benefits.

Ease of Use - Some design patterns are difficult to implement. Framework<ToolKit> provides the necessary skeleton code to create and use those common patterns simply and intuitively.
Reuse - Many of the facilities in Framework<ToolKit> are designed to be adaptable to any class. For example, using Framework<ToolKit> you can add singleton or observer behavior easily to any class without modifying its interface.
Simplicity - The classes contained in Framework<ToolKit> simplify the use of common design patterns, reducing the likelihood of errors.

This chapter describes the functionality provided in Framework<ToolKit> including singleton, observable, acceptor/connector, and dispatcher programming examples.
