Interface BOAssembler<E,T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface BOAssembler<E,T>

An assembler that provides assembly and disassembly of business DTO from/to their base DTO. During disassembly of business DTO, it is required that all implementations generate the id (if newly created base DTO) from UUID and use that in mapping relations. Generic Mapping: E -> Business DTO e.g. CourseInfo T -> Base DTO e.g. CluInfo It is a good practice to propagate state from the parent objects through to the children

Method Summary

E	assemble(T baseDTO, E businessDTO, boolean shallowBuild) This method assembles the business DTO from its base DTO.
BaseDTOAssemblyNode<E,T>	disassemble(E businessDTO, BaseDTOAssemblyNode.NodeOperation operation) This method returns a collection of base DTOs and the operations that need to be performed on them in a given order

Method Detail

assemble

E assemble(T baseDTO,
           E businessDTO,
           boolean shallowBuild)
           throws AssemblyException

This method assembles the business DTO from its base DTO.

Parameters:

baseDTO - Base DTO that corresponds to the business DTO

businessDTO - Reference to Business DTO

shallowBuild - boolean flag to indicate if the assembly should be shallow or deep

Returns:

Assembled business DTO

Throws:

AssemblyException

disassemble

BaseDTOAssemblyNode<E,T> disassemble(E businessDTO,
                                     BaseDTOAssemblyNode.NodeOperation operation)
                                     throws AssemblyException

This method returns a collection of base DTOs and the operations that need to be performed on them in a given order

Parameters:

businessDTO - Business DTO to be disassembled

isCreate - Is the disassembly done for create

Returns:

A sorted map of BaseDTOAssemblyNodes to be processed in the given order. The key (Integer) is the sequence in which the nodes have to be processed

Throws:

AssemblyException
