ABAP Object Oriented Design Pattern Adapter (Wrapper)

The document discusses the Adapter design pattern in ABAP Object Oriented programming. The Adapter pattern allows classes with incompatible interfaces to work together by wrapping one class with a "wrapper" class that implements the expected interface. An example is provided where a class that generates tree output is wrapped with an adapter class that implements the interface expected by the client, allowing the client to access the tree output generation capabilities indirectly.

What is Adapter
