I'm developing an application in Java with MVC architecture. Doing so has greatly decoupled and simplified my code, but the problem is that the model has no intrinsic visual representation. That is, there are no characters, no specific enemies, no buttons, no text boxes - the model is made up of 开发者_如何学JAVAhundreds of instances of one type of object. Each instance is controlled by an instance of a strategy pattern (technically, it's a hierarchy of strategy patterns); it is the only differing point between each instance in the application. The type of strategy each instance uses should therefore ideally make it look slightly different than others around it.

I'd like to avoid a giant if statement chain with dozens of "instance of" calls checking for the type of strategy used when developing a view for this application. I'd also like to avoid a similar chain using an enumeration. Any suggestions as to how I can make my view without succumbing to a massive if chain? Any suggestions as to how I could design my view properly so that it wouldn't be so tightly coupled to the strategy instances?

Thanks in advance for your time!

@DJClayworth asks the critical question:

Are you interested in presenting to the user the strategy [to be] selected, or the results of that strategy?

Assuming you'll need both, let the model contain an enumeration relating strategy names, implementations and descriptive text. The implementation can use a class literal as a runtime-type token.

In this example, enum Rule serves all three purposes as an implicit model. It supplies a legible name and description, as well as a constant representing a particular composite strategy. No case statements are required.
