Abstract Factory Pattern in Java

Question

I reproduced my version of Abstract Factory Pattern in Java. I know it's redundant but can I get critical comments about my code. Is it really the classic implementation of the pattern or not?

/*
* The demonstration of Abstract Factory Pattern
* 
* Here the 'DocumentFactory' creates documents of types 
* 'Resume' or 'Letter' which are concrete classes responsible to
* create things like 'FancyResume' or 'CoverLetter'
* 
* The example is inspired by Wikipedia documentation of Abstract
* Factory.
*/

interface letter{
    void print();
}

class CoverLetter implements letter{
    @Override
    public void print(){
        System.out.println("Cover letter printed");
    }
}

class FancyLetter implements letter{
    @Override
    public void print(){
        System.out.println("Fancy letter printed");
    }
}

interface resume{
    void process();
}

class CorporateResume implements resume{
    @Override
    public void process(){
        System.out.println("Corporate resume processed");
    }
}

class FancyResume implements resume{
    @Override
    public void process(){
        System.out.println("Fancy resume processed");
    }
}

//Create 'Concrete' factories 
class LetterFactory{
    public letter getLetter(String type){
        switch(type){
            case "Fancy":
                return new FancyLetter();
            case "Cover":
                return new CoverLetter();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

class ResumeFactory{
    public resume getResume(String type){
        switch(type){
            case "Fancy":
                return new FancyResume();
            case "Corporate":
                return new CorporateResume();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

// create abstract factory
abstract class DocumentFactory{
    abstract LetterFactory letterFactory();
    abstract ResumeFactory resumeFactory();
}

class DocumentCreator extends DocumentFactory{
    @Override
    LetterFactory letterFactory(){
        return new LetterFactory();
    }

    @Override
    ResumeFactory resumeFactory(){
        return new ResumeFactory();
    }
}

class abstractfactory{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        DocumentCreator creator = new DocumentCreator();

        // create a fancy letter
        letter myLetter = creator.letterFactory().getLetter("Fancy");
        myLetter.print();

        // create a corporate resume
        resume myResume = creator.resumeFactory().getResume("Corporate");
        myResume.process();
    }
}

Answer 1

First, use standard Java conventions for interfaces names: not resume or letter but Letter and Resume

Second, I would define e.g. StyleDocumentsFactory API like this

interface StyleDocumentsFactory {
    Letter createLetter();
    Resume createResume();
}

and then implement FuncyStyleDocumentsFactory and CorporateStyleDocumentsFactory instances of this API.

So you will have 2 abstract factories (for creation group of object with common theme: funcy and corporate) with set of factory methods.

Instantiate appropriate StyleDocumentsFactory impl in your main method at the program beginning.
