Design Patterns discussion

[Ray Ye <rayye AT Catena.com>]

I would say strategy is a "refinement" of bridge, where it only concerns
about the varied implementations of strategy interface.

Again, the intents of these two patterns are very different, particularly,
strategy is used to handle one-dimension change (different strategies),
bridge is used to handle two-dimension change (both abstraction and
implementor)(IMO)


Cheers,

Ray

   Hi Ray and Chris,
   
   I wonder if Chris' question is not : can Bridge be seen as a refinement
of Strategy in which you add subclasses to Strategy's Context ?
   In Ray's modem example the interfaces would be :
   ModemType (Context) and ModemManufacturer (Strategy).
   
   What do you think ?
