Abstract
The flyweight pattern is applied when a number of similar objects all rely on the same set of data values. Rather than create a new set of data valued for each of the objects, the flyweight pattern shares one set between all of them, minimizing the amount of memory required to store the data and the amount of work required to create them. Table 17-1 puts the flyweight pattern into context.
