Dobo framework is a tools to decoupled object and its context. By its nature, object can have different behavior in different context. For example : A Person, can be a father, software engineer, or a husband. Traditional development, by using interface, we expect an object has to implement interface in some fashion. Eg : Person can implement Father, SoftwareEngineer, and Husband. Every object can implement particular interface, but what happen if the object actually has many behavior in same context scope ??.
Eg : Java Software Engineer knows Java language and C++ engineer knows C++ language. What if, this person master in both skill. This can lead some problem. Traditionally to solve this situation, we need the Employer to pass information to this person, so this person can understand what behavior he should do based on the employer information.
However, the employer cannot pass the information to this person, there is no method in SoftwareEngineer to tell this person, "doEverythingInJava" ?? And actually the Employer wondering why he need to tell this software engineer to do everything in java ?? shouldn't this person know that this is Java Software Company
Another daily case can be found. Think that you are web developer, so you implement Controller interface that implement a method to process request. So you create interface for dealing with Customer you name it CustomerController. But you found out you need to implement different object for different action. The CustomerController is not sufficient. You end up with, CreateCustomerController, UpdateCustomerController, ReadCustomerController,DeleteCustomerController, SomeActionsCustomerControleller, you start thinking smart way, using template and abstract object. That really helps you because finally you have this cool framework to do some dirty job and help your days.
But what if actually you found out, that, you don't need to extend to a template or abstract class, what you need actually is, a Context. CustomerController in some context should perform different behavior.
