How would you explain a common mistake when implementing a factory in an interview?
Track: Java
Topic: Design Patterns
Focus: Factory Pattern
Java: Factory Pattern
Answer
Over-engineering with unnecessary factories.
A frequent mistake is creating factories for simple objects that don't require complex instantiation logic, adding unnecessary complexity. For example, if an object has no dependencies and is straightforward to instantiate, using a factory can overcomplicate the design.
