    [forge-dev] Several architectural styles in Forge (was Wondering about coding convention)

      IMHO we should not be putting persistence concerns in either the JSF beans

      or the REST resources.

      They should go into a service or a repository or whatever data access

      pattern is suitable for the context.

      This is where we lack any standardization at the moment, and it would be

      better to not limit this exercise to improving the conventions alone, but

      also the architecture.

       

       

       

      Vineet, this is the topic I'm writing about at the moment. To be honest, I

      quite like to have persistent concerns in JSF beans and REST for certain

      projects... but not all, and that's where I thing Forge should give some

      choices. What I'm writing is about having 3 different architectural styles

      that could be resume like this (using CLI) :

       

      Current (generates JSF/REST from entities) :

      jsf-scaffold-from-entity

      rest-scaffold-from-entity

       

      EJB Centric (add a service layer to deal with persistence) :

      ejb-scaffold-from-entity

      jsf-scaffold-from-ejb

      rest-scaffold-from-ejb

       

      REST centric (the JSF backing beans use the REST endpoint, using JAX-RS

      2.0 Client API) :

      rest-scaffold-from-entity

      jsf-scaffold-from-rest

       

       

      I will let you know when the post is written, it will be clearer

          Very interesting. I was about to suggest linking any work in this space with FORGE-944.

          Overall, I get the impression that we should structure commands based on

            Hi Vineet,

             

            I've published the blog : http://antoniogoncalves

            .org/2013/10/29/several-architectural-styles-with-java-ee-7/

             

            I've implemented the three different architectural styles and you can have

            a look at : https://github.com/agoncal/agoncal-sample-javaee/tree/master/03-

            TierArchitecture

             

            Unfortunately I still have an issue with the RESTendpoint doing a paginate

            (I've asked some help in the jersey mailing list, but still no news, you

            can have a look at :

            https://java.net/projects/jersey/lists/users/archive/2013-10/message/64

             

            If you look at the code for the three styles, there are not many changes. I

            would hope that Forge could help developers to generate different

            architectural styles. As I said, we could do something like this (depending

            on the future syntax : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-944)

             

            • Horizontal :*

             

               - jpa-scaffold-from-database

               - jsf-scaffold-from-entity

               - rest-scaffold-from-entity

             

             

            EJB Centric :

             

               - jpa-scaffold-from-database

               - ejb-scaffold-from-entity

               - jsf-scaffold-from-ejb

               - rest-scaffold-from-ejb

             

             

            REST centric :

             

               - jpa-scaffold-from-database

               - rest-scaffold-from-entity

               - jsf-scaffold-from-rest

             

            If that interests you, I would be more than happy to contribute to

            something like that.

              Hey Antonio!

               

              I'm definitely very interested in seeing more styles of programming

              supported! I think this would be a great project. I am all for it.

               

              The interesting part will be trying to determine appropriate patterns for

              each style. REST APIs vary greatly, but if we can find some kind of best

              practice, which based on your blog, it looks like you already have an idea

              of, then I think that makes our job much simpler (and it is a complex job

               

              So far, our command style is following this basic premise:

               

              jpa-new-entity (instead of entity --named)

              jpa-new-embedable

              jpa-new-mapped-superclass --named Person

              jpa-new-entity --named Vet --extends Person

               

               

              {spec alias or acronym}-new- {spec alias or acronym}--from-{something else}

               

              We have a dilemma with faces and CDI, though. Should we call them 'faces'

              and 'rest' or "jsf" and "jaxrs", since we already have "jpa" "ejb" etc. I

              think JAX-RS is the real issue, because most people know it as REST.

               

              But back on topic, yes, I'm all for this!

                Hey Antonio!

                 

                I'm definitely very interested in seeing more styles of programming

                supported! I think this would be a great project. I am all for it.

                 

                The interesting part will be trying to determine appropriate patterns for

                each style. REST APIs vary greatly, but if we can find some kind of best

                practice, which based on your blog, it looks like you already have an idea

                of, then I think that makes our job much simpler (and it is a complex job

                 

                So far, our command style is following this basic premise:

                 

                jpa-new-entity (instead of entity --named)

                jpa-new-embedable

                jpa-new-mapped-superclass --named Person

                jpa-new-entity --named Vet --extends Person

                 

                >

                {spec alias or acronym}-new- > {spec alias or acronym}--from-{something else}

                 

                We have a dilemma with faces and CDI, though. Should we call them 'faces'

                and 'rest' or "jsf" and "jaxrs", since we already have "jpa" "ejb" etc. I

                think JAX-RS is the real issue, because most people know it as REST.

                 

                But back on topic, yes, I'm all for this!
