You have:
- An irregular structure of objects and composites of the objects
You want:
- Clients to ignore all but the essential differences between individual objects and composites of objects
- To treat all objects in a composite uniformly
But consider using as well:
- The Decorator pattern to provide operations like Add, Remove, and Find
- The Flyweight pattern to share components, provided the notion of “where I am” can be disregarded and all
- operations start at the root of the composite
- The Visitor pattern to localize the operations that are currently distributed between the Composite and
- Component classes
