graniteds blazeds comparison interview

shared by kuni katsuya on 06 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • explained the origin of GraniteDS and the differences with LiveCycle Data Services
  • ActionScript3 reflection API
  • GraniteDS 2.2
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • JSR-303 (“Bean Validation”) ActionScript3 framework for form validation
  • validation framework is a specific adaptation of the JSR-303 (Bean Validation) specification to Flex: like its Java counterpart, it relies on validation annotations placed on bean properties and provides an engine API that lets you validate your forms without writing by hand a specific validator for each of your input fields
  • code generation tools provided by GraniteDS so that when you write your Java entity bean with validation annotations, they are automatically replicated in your ActionScript3 beans
  • problem with LCDS is mainly that it promotes a strict “client / server” architecture, with – roughly speaking – a heavy Flex client application connected to a server almost reduced to a database frontend
  • big majority of  these organizations use BlazeDS, a free and open-source subset of LCDS
  • need more advanced mechanisms than just Remoting start looking for open-source libraries to enable deeper integrations with the Java business layer, and GraniteDS is for sure the most popular project
  • “Flex Data Services” (now renamed to “Live Cycle Data Services”)
  • Flex Data Services seemed too “client-centric”

  • stop asking themselves how this solution could be improved upon
  • It's a very impressive magic trick, and I wish I knew how to do it myself. But then, I'm just not like that. I'm always trying to poke holes in things - whether they were Invented Here or Not.
  • but that might be too high-level for your taste. Their are other, less-abstract options.
  • exception handling, this is one area where Spring does a good job: "The Spring Framework's handling of SQLException is one of its most useful features in terms of enabling easier JDBC development and maintenance. The Spring Framework provides JDBC support that abstracts SQLException and provides a DAO-friendly, unchecked exception hierarchy."
  • Utter nonsense and dishonest false advertising
  • Automatic connection closing (and other boiler-plate code) is obviously a hard requirement to be handled by the fwk.
  • Pffffff. It's a trivial requirement which I can solve in my framework with two lines of code in a @Disposes method. Did you see any connection handling in the code above?
  • I mean, seriously guys. The Spring stuff is trivial and not even very elegant. I guess it's easier for me to see that, since I spent half my career thinking about data access and designing data access APIs. But even so...
  • I don't understand. You hate the ability to write typesafw SQL that much?
  • Gavin King
  • Methods with long argument lists are a code smell.
  • It's something Spring copied from Hibernate 1.x, back in the days before varargs
  • It's something we removed in Hibernate2 and JPA.
  • there are a bunch of people
  • who don't want to use JPA.
  • They don't understand, or see the value of, using managed objects to represent their persistent data.
  • Um. Why? Why would that be a bad thing? I imagine that any app with 1000 queries has tens of thousands of classes already. What's the problem? Why is defining a class worse than writing a method?
  • Are you working from some totally bizarre metric where you measure code quality by number of classes?

Dependency injection discourages object-oriented programming? @ Blog of Adam Warski - 0 views

shared by kuni katsuya on 12 Dec 12 - No Cached
  • Dependency injection discourages object-oriented programming?

      well, dependency injection, but moreover, the soa approach to service design tends to force otherwise intelligent software engineers into doing procedural design the services just end up being bags of method calls that implement any type of behavior, with the domain objects or entity beans being reduced to mere data structures with little responsibility or behavior beyond persistence. (which, in this anti-pattern, is typically mostly provided by the repository or dao class! ie. domain object crud)
  • it’s just easier

      with the procedural approach, you also cannot implement polymorphic behavior, for instance

java javadoc BestPractices documentation design communication

shared by kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12 - No Cached
  • Javadoc coding standards
  • explain some of the rationale for some of my choices
  • this is more about the formatting of Javadoc, than the content of Javadoc
  • ...63 more annotations...
  • Each of the guidelines below consists of a short description of the rule and an explanation
  • Write Javadoc to be read as source code
  • Making Javadoc readable as source code
  • Public and protected
  • All public and protected methods should be fully defined with Javadoc
  • Package and private methods do not have to be, but may
  • benefit from it.
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      think of it as internal design documentation when you revisit this code 8 months from now: - based on nothing but your well-chosen ;) package/class/method/variable names, will you recall all of your current design intentions and rationale? likely not - when you hand-off this code to another software engineer, how easy will it be to mostly rtfm? will you have to waste time preparing design/implementation notes specifically for the hand-off? if this is the case because the code is unreadable and not self-guiding and there's not already at least high level design notes in a wiki, you're doing it wrong!
  • If a method is overridden in a subclass, Javadoc should only be present if it says something distinct to the original definition of the method
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      ie. don't just copy-paste the javadoc from the superclass. that's mindless and pointless monkey work
  • Use the standard style for the Javadoc comment
  • Do not use '**/' at the end of the Javadoc
  • Use simple HTML tags, not valid XHTML
  • XHTML adds many extra tags that make the Javadoc harder to read as source code
  • Use a single <p> tag between paragraphs
  • Place a single <p> tag on the blank line between paragraphs:
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      this at least makes the paragraph breaks wysiwygísh and somewhat easier to read
  • Use a single <li> tag for items in a list
  • place a single <li> tag at the start of the line and no closing tag
  • Define a punchy first sentence
  • it has the responsibility of summing up the method or class to readers scanning the class or package
  • the first sentence should be
  • clear and punchy, and generally short
  • use the third person form at the start
  • Avoid the second person form, such as "Get the foo"
  • Use "this" to refer to an instance of the class
  • When referring to an instance of the class being documented, use "this" to reference it.
  • Aim for short single line sentences
  • Wherever possible, make Javadoc sentences fit on a single line
  • favouring between 80 and 120 characters
  • Use @link and @code wisely
  • @link feature creates a visible hyperlink in generated Javadoc to the target
  • @code feature provides a section of fixed-width font, ideal for references to methods and class names
  • Only use @link on the first reference to a specific class or method
  • Use @code for subsequent references.
  • This avoids excessive hyperlinks cluttering up the Javadoc
  • Never use @link in the first sentence
  • Always use @code in the first sentence if necessary
  • Adding a hyperlink in that first sentence makes the higher level documentation more confusing
  • Do not use @code for null, true or false
  • Adding @code for every occurrence is a burden to both the reader and writer of the Javadoc and adds no real value.
  • Use @param, @return and @throws
  • @param entries should be specified in the same order as the parameters
  • @return should be after the @param entries
  • followed by @throws.
  • Use @param for generics
  • correct approach is an @param tag with the parameter name of <T> where T is the type parameter name.
  • Use one blank line before @param
  • This aids readability in source code.
  • Treat @param and @return as a phrase
  • They should start with a lower case letter, typically using the word "the". They should not end with a dot. This aids readability in source code and when generated.
  • treated as phrases rather than complete sentences
  • Treat @throws as an if clause
  • phrase describing the condition
  • Define null-handling for all parameters and return types
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      ideally, if the method in question has any specified/required pre and/or post conditions, they should be noted in the javadoc, not *just* null handling also, there are cleaner ways to design around this type of old school null handling hackage
  • methods should define their null-tolerance in the @param or @return
  • standard forms expressing this
  • "not null"
  • "may be null"
  • "null treated as xxx"
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      DO NOT DO THIS this is just bad design
  • "null returns xxx"
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      this might also stink of poor design ymmv
  • In general the behaviour of the passed in null should be defined
  • Specifications require implementation notes
  • Avoid @author
  • source control system is in a much better position to record authors
  • This wastes everyone's time and decreases the overall value of the documentation. When you have nothing useful to say, say nothing!
    • kuni katsuya
      kuni katsuya on 13 Dec 12
       
      likewise with javadoc on things like default constructors /**  * Creates an instance of SomeClass  */ public SomeClass() {} is equally useless and unnecessarily clutters up the source code

  • code duplication
  • Maintaining this code would turn into a nightmare in no time
  • running the code above will throw an exception by the JPA provider,
  • since not-nullable password field was never set.
  • Joshua Blooch gives fine example of builder pattern.
  • Instead of making the desired object directly, the client calls a constructor (or static factory) with all of the required parameters and gets a builder object. Then the client calls setter-like methods on the builder object to set each optional parameter of interest. Finally, the client calls a parameterless build method to generate the object, which is immutable. The builder is a static member class of the class it builds.
  • Coffee
  • public static class Builder
  • Builder(CoffeeType type, int cupSize)
  • Builder withMilk()
  • Coffee build()
  • Coffee(this)
  • private Coffee(Builder builder)
  • Coffee coffee = new Coffee.Builder(CoffeeType.Expresso, 3).withMilk().build();2}
  • especially if most of those parameters are optional.
  • For all entity attributes I create private fields
  • those that are obligatory become parameters for the public constructor
  • parameter-less constructor, I create one, but I give him

  • Mapping a Join Table with Additional Columns
  • solution is to create a class that models the join table
