Does the pattern of passing in one object instead of many parameters to a constructor have a name?

Question

If you have a constructor that takes a lot of parameters, like this:

  public OrgUnitsHalRepresentation(List<OrgUnitSummaryHalRepresentation> orgUnitSummaryHalRepresentationList,
  int count, int providedCount, int total, int page, int filterLimit, boolean hasNextPage, boolean isDefaultCount)

You can use a separate class that takes nothing in the constructor and set these parameters using setters and pass in this into the constructor instead:

public OrgUnitsHalRepresentation(Pagination(Name of pattern) p)

Does this have a name so that I can use it in my class name?

Answer 1

This is the Parameter Object Design Pattern (or Argument Object), the related Refactoring is called Introduce Parameter Object.

Answer 2

This seems to me like a normal case of grouping related variables into compact structure, that has been practiced since structures were invented. Considering it is so ancient, I would imagine there is no name for it.

Also, remember one thing : Patterns are much complex than that. Pattern usually means something that introduces SOLID into code. Your case is too simple to be considered pattern. I would simply call it "PaginationParameters"
