I much prefer Noun.verb() over NounVerberFactoryInterfaceAbstractInsanityTurtleTurlteTurtleRussianNestedDollSet so this case is just missing a noun such as Catalog, so the Catalog has Products, and Catalog.search(parameters) would return a list of Products.

  The Java standard library has its share of such insanity.

    Then it should be easy enough to provide me with an example? I've only ever seen factories with an indirection of one level in Java's standard libraries, I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of their coding style rules. I think you would only find such monstrosities in Ecliopse.

      I was curious, since I've seen this joke a lot of times, and thought surely there must be some truth to it. The longest class name I could find in the Java standard library is "SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException". The next few longest names were also exception classes with descriptive names. The longest factory name I could find was "ContextualRenderedImageFactory", which also seems pretty reasonable.

        The standard library is mostly sane; it is the enterprisey frameworks that get out of hand.

        There are no design patterns in that name (Factory, Proxy, Singleton). Also, it sounds like the name is machine generated, which shouldn't count.

        I would certainly agree that the name was clearly generated by the mechanical application of some naming rule without the application of much judgement... :-)

Coming from a JS/Mongo background rather than Rails, I was completely expecting a Collection.find() of some sort. Why should a product know how to find itself?
