Strategy pattern in Spring

In Spring, the strategy pattern is often used to achieve substitutability of different algorithms or behaviors. Here are the general steps to use the strategy pattern in Spring:

1. Define the Strategy Interface:
   First, define a strategy interface that defines a set of methods for an algorithm or behavior.

2. Create multiple strategy classes (Strategy Classes):
   Create multiple classes that implement the strategy interface, and each class implements the methods in the strategy interface to provide different implementations.

3. Injection in the configuration file:
   In the Spring configuration file, use dependency injection (DI) to inject the strategy class into the class that needs to use the strategy.

4. Call the strategy method when needed:
   In the class that uses the strategy, the specific algorithm logic is realized by calling the method of the injected strategy class. This way, policy classes can be dynamically replaced at runtime to achieve different behaviors.

Following is a simple example showing the steps to use strategy pattern in Spring:

1. Define the policy interface:

public interface PaymentStrategy {
    void pay(double amount);
}

2. Create multiple policy classes:

public class CashPaymentStrategy implements PaymentStrategy {
    public void pay(double amount) {
        System.out.println("使用现金支付：" + amount);
    }
}

public class CreditCardPaymentStrategy implements PaymentStrategy {
    public void pay(double amount) {
        System.out.println("使用信用卡支付：" + amount);
    }
}

3. Inject in the configuration file (of course, you can also use annotations for injection):

<bean id="cashPaymentStrategy" class="com.example.CashPaymentStrategy" />
<bean id="creditCardPaymentStrategy" class="com.example.CreditCardPaymentStrategy" />

4. Use the strategy class:

public class PaymentService {
    private PaymentStrategy paymentStrategy;

    public void setPaymentStrategy(PaymentStrategy paymentStrategy) {
        this.paymentStrategy = paymentStrategy;
    }

    public void processPayment(double amount) {
        paymentStrategy.pay(amount);
    }
}

Where the policy is used,  processPayment the payment operation is performed by calling the method. When a strategy needs to be replaced, a different strategy class can be injected through DI in the configuration file.

To sum up, the application of the strategy pattern in Spring allows us to flexibly switch and combine different behaviors without modifying the classes that use these behaviors. Through dependency injection and dynamic replacement, Spring helps us realize the flexible application of strategy patterns.
