Design Pattern help for this scenerio?.

Design Pattern help for this scenerio?.

I need some expert advice on possible ways
to design the classes for following scenerio.

Subject domain has 3 types of identities.
Lets say <IDType1>, <IDType2>. Because
both are identities and have some
commonality we can inherit them from a
base <Identity> type.

Then there is People who owns those IDs.
Some have only 1 ID and some have both.

The problem I have having here is this.
You should be able to add <Identity>
only with a person. So, basicaly I thought
to have a register method inside <Person>
which inturn call [Add] methods in IDentites.

Also, I cannot have [Add] methods inside
the IDType1, IDType2 classes as public
because then it will allow adding identites
without adding a <Person>

Having Identities as inner classes within
<Person> will solve the above issue,
but then, to provide functionality such
as listing/searching IDType1, IDType2
will also have to be done from <Person>
which is a bit silly (I guess)

Using internal keyword may be another
solution. But I think there can be a better
way of doing this.

Any body who can help me
with some design pattern here?

Regards
KK

The Top Level Design: The class Base is a factory class with a twist. It uses the Assembly/Type classes to extract all types that inherit from it and add them to the list of types that inherit from it. During run time, using a static method, the class creates an instance of the derived class using the Activator class and returns it. This design pattern is very similar to the design pattern applied by the Assembly class. The twist is...

In Febraury - April of 2002 I put together in Java examples of all 23 of the classic "Gang Of Four" design patterns for my website. Partly I wanted to get a better understanding of those patterns. They are still online at http://www.fluffycat.com/java/patterns.html Since September 2003 I've mainly been using PHP, and now that PHP 5 is becoming more available I am going to try the same thing I did in Java with PHP.

New on November 28, 2005 for www.FluffyCat.com PHP 5 Design Pattern Examples - the Visitor Pattern. In the Visitor pattern, one class calls a function in another class and passes an instance of itself. The called class has special functions for each class that can call it. With the visitor pattern, the calling class can have new operations added without being changed itself.

New on November 29, 2005 for www.FluffyCat.com PHP 5 Design Pattern Examples - the Command Pattern. Since you all enjoyed the Visitor Pattern so much yesterday, today I have the Command Pattern for you. This one is pretty straight forward. In the Command Pattern an object encapsulates everything needed to execute a method in another object. http://www.fluffycat.com/SDCMSv2/PHP-Design-Patterns-Command/

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
