You can use verbs passively to do something on something else. Or you can have your program or process do it. Logically, I see no difference between:

"The HandlerCreationFactory created a Handler based on the Request." (oop)

"A Handler is created based on the Request." (passive) or "The program (or process) creates a Handler based on the Request. "

Only that the first one needs a lot more nouns, even when they look silly.
