    Default Strategy Pattern and code duplication

    Hello everyone,
    I've implemented a strategy pattern for reading an XML file in two (for now) cases. In the next image i show what differs and what is the same in both strategies.

    Well the classes are not so big but still there is duplicate code. What would you suggest for eliminating duplicate code?

    Default Re: Strategy Pattern and code duplication

    I use abstract classes for this kind of thing. 'AbstractXMLReader' would implement all the 'same code' bits and provide an abstract method definition. Then 'LocalXMLReader' and 'RemoteXMLReader' would provide the concrete implementation.
