MVC Design Patterns

Context

MVC is an architectural pattern that is used when developing interactive application such as a shopping cart on the Internet.

Problem

User interfaces change often, especially on the internet where look-and-feel is a competitive issue. Also, the same information is presented in different ways. The core business logic and data is stable.

Solution

Use the concept of dividing the concerns to divide the application into three areas

  • Model :- Encapsulates the core data and the functionality
  • View :- Encapsulates the presentation of the data there can be many views of the common data
  • Controller:- accepts input from the user and makes request from the model for the data to produce a new view

The model represents the structure of the data and the operations that can be performed on that data.

The view represents the data that is in a presentable format.

The controller translates the user action like mouse events, submit, keystrokes, words spoken with user input to call the call the specific operation with the model.

MVC example- Java Pet Store

It demonstrates a real-world approach to application development, where the presentation of data is separated from the process of obtaining data from objects which interact with the enterprise or database tier.

The design can be divided into the following tiers:

  • Client Tier
  • Web tier
  • Enterprise Bean Tier
  • Enterprise Information System Tier


 

The Client Tire is the only part which is visible to the end user of the application so it handles the view part it is also connected to the other tiers using some well defined interfaces.

The separate Client tier design provides flexibility and extensibility .

Design Patterns (TID)

The pattern is an organised way of solving some specific class of problems. These patterns come in to the picture at analysis and high-level-design phase. The first step of applying one pattern to the code base is first to understand the find the vector of change in the code base. Next step is to isolate the things that are subject to change form the things that are not. That is adding a layer of abstraction to the code. The goal of design patterns is isolating the changes in your code. Understand Inheritance and Composition as a solution to a specific class of problems. Inheritance : - It allows you to express differences in behavior (that's the thing that changes) in objects that all have the same interface (that's what stays the same). Composition : - Composition can also be considered a pattern, since it allows you to change—dynamically or statically—the objects that implement your class, and thus the way that class works. Some principles of designing the c...

Primitive Obsession with Example

Primitive Obsession is the name of a code smell that occurs when we use primitive data types to represent domain ideas. For example, we use a string to represent a message or an integer to represent an amount of money. For Example: Code with Primitive Obsession // primitiveObsession.java public class primitiveObsession { public static void main ( String args []) { Integer [] cityPopulations = { 13000000 , // London 21903623 , // New York 12570000 , // Tokyo 1932763 , // Stockholm 1605602 , // Barcelona 4119190 // Sydney }; for ( Integer cityPopulation : cityPopulations ) { System . out . println ( cityPopulation ); } } } public class City { private final String name ; private final int population ; private final Continent continent ; public String getName () { return name ; } public int getPopulation () { return population ; } public Continent ge...
