观察者模式概述
观察者模式是对象的行为模式，又叫做发布-订阅模式、模型-视图模式、源-监听器模式或者从属者模式，这个模式定义了一种一对多的依赖关系，让多个观察者对象同时监听某一个主题对象。这个主题对象在状态上发生变化时，会通知所有观察者对象，使他们能够自动更新自己。
代码体现
由上面的描述，我们设想一个场景：在一个对象的值发生变化时没随即打印出变化后的这个值的二进制、八进制、十六进制表示法

}
上述例子所画出来的类图：
运行结果：
First state change: 15
Hex String: F
Octal String: 17
Binary String: 1111
Second state change: 10
Hex String: A
Octal String: 12
Binary String: 1010
这个模式里面的角色
由上述例子。我们可以看出观察者模式中有如下几个角色：
1、抽象观察者角色（Observer）：为所有的具体观察者定义一个接口，在得到主题的通知时更新自己。他一般用一个抽象类和一个接口实现，在本例中Observer就是一个抽象类，他只有一个update（）方法，这个方法叫做更新方法；
2、主题角色（Subject）:将有关状态存入具体观察者对象，在主题的内部状态发生改变时，给所有注册过的观察者发出通知；
3、具体观察者角色（即本例中的HexaObserver、OctalObserver、BinaryObserver）：这个角色实现抽象观察者角色所要求的的更新接口，以便是本身的状态与主题的状态相协调
总结
由上面的例子可以总结出以下几点：
模式意图
定义对象间的一种一对多的依赖关系，当一个对象的状态发生改变时，所有依赖于它的对象都得到通知并被自动更新。
模式主要解决
一个对象状态改变给其他对象通知的问题，而且要考虑到易用和低耦合，保证高度的协作。
模式何时被使用
一个对象（目标对象）的状态发生改变，所有的依赖对象（观察者对象）都将得到通知，进行广播通知。
模式如何实现
使用面向对象技术，可以将这种依赖关系弱化。
模式的关键代码
在抽象类里有一个 ArrayList 存放观察者们。
模式的优点：
1、观察者和被观察者是抽象耦合的；
2、建立一套触发机制。
模式的缺点
1、如果一个被观察者对象有很多的直接和间接的观察者的话，将所有的观察者都通知到会花费很多时间；
2、如果在观察者和观察目标之间有循环依赖的话，观察目标会触发它们之间进行循环调用，可能导致系统崩溃；
3、观察者模式没有相应的机制让观察者知道所观察的目标对象是怎么发生变化的，而仅仅只是知道观察目标发生了变化。
使用该模式的注意事项
1、JAVA 中已经有了对观察者模式的支持类；(Observable类 Observer接口)
2、避免循环引用；
3、如果顺序执行，某一观察者错误会导致系统卡壳，一般采用异步方式。
