Parte II: Creare nuovi Manager - Un HowTo sulla creazione di Business Façade che parlino con il livello del database (DAO) e si occupino della gestione delle transazioni.
Questo tutorial dipende da Parte I: Creare nuovi DAO ed Object in AppFuse.

Informazioni su questo Tutorial

Questo tutorial ti mostrerà come creare una classe di Business Façade (ed un Test JUnit) per parlare con il DAO che abbiamo creato nella Parte I.

Nel contesto di AppFuse, questa viene denominata una classe Manager. La sua responsibilità principale è comportarsi da ponte fra il layer di persistenza (DAO) ed il layer web. È anche utile per disaccoppiare il tuo layer di presentazione dal tuo layer database (i.e. per applicazioni Swing). I Manager dovrebbero inoltre essere il luogo deputato nel quale mettere la business logic della tua applicazione.

Ti dirò come si fanno le cose nel Mondo Reale in un testo come questo.

Iniziamo con il creare un nuovo ManagerTest ed un nuovo Manager nell'architettura di AppFuse.

Crea un nuovo ManagerTest per eseguire test JUnit sul Manager [#1]

In Part I, we created a Person object and PersonDao - so let's continue developing this entity. First, let's create a JUnit test for the PersonManager. Create PersonManagerTest in the test/service/**/service directory. We'll want to test the same basic methods (get, save, remove) that our DAO has.
This may seem redundant (why all the tests!), but these tests are GREAT to have 6 months down the road.

This class should extend BaseManagerTestCase, which already exists in the service package. The parent class (BaseManagerTestCase) serves similar functionality as the BaseDaoTestCase.

I usually copy (open → save as) an existing test (i.e. UserManagerTest.java) and find/replace [Uu]ser with [Pp]erson, or whatever the name of my object is.

The code below is what you need for a basic JUnit test of your Manager. Unlike the DaoTest, this test uses jMock to isolate the Manager from its dependencies and make it a true "unit" test. This can be very helpful because it allows you to test your business logic w/o worrying about other dependencies. The code below simply sets up the Manger and its dependencies (as Mocks) for testing.


package org.appfuse.service;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.appfuse.dao.PersonDao;
import org.appfuse.model.Person;
import org.appfuse.service.impl.PersonManagerImpl;

import org.jmock.Mock;
import org.springframework.orm.ObjectRetrievalFailureException;

public class PersonManagerTest extends BaseManagerTestCase {
    private final String personId = "1";
    private PersonManager personManager = new PersonManagerImpl();
    private Mock personDao = null;
    private Person person = null;

    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
        personDao = new Mock(PersonDao.class);
        personManager.setPersonDao((PersonDaopersonDao.proxy());
    }

    protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
        super.tearDown();
        personManager = null;
    }
}

Now that you have the skeleton done for this class, you need to add the meat: the test methods to make sure everything works. Here's a snippet from the DAO Tutorial tutorial to help you understand what we're about to do.

...we create methods that begin with "test" (all lower case). As long as these methods are public, have a void return type and take no arguments, they will be called by our <junit> task in our Ant build.xml file. Here's some simple tests for testing CRUD. An important thing to remember is that each method (also known as a test), should be autonomous.

Add the following methods to your PersonManagerTest.java file:


    public void testGetPerson() throws Exception {
        // set expected behavior on dao
        personDao.expects(once()).method("getPerson")
            .will(returnValue(new Person()));
        person = personManager.getPerson(personId);
        assertTrue(person != null);
        personDao.verify();
    }

    public void testSavePerson() throws Exception {
        // set expected behavior on dao
        personDao.expects(once()).method("savePerson")
            .with(same(person)).isVoid();

        personManager.savePerson(person);
        personDao.verify();
    }    

    public void testAddAndRemovePerson() throws Exception {
        person = new Person();

        // set required fields
        person.setFirstName("firstName");
        person.setLastName("lastName");

        // set expected behavior on dao
        personDao.expects(once()).method("savePerson")
            .with(same(person)).isVoid();
        personManager.savePerson(person);
        personDao.verify();

        // reset expectations
        personDao.reset();

        personDao.expects(once()).method("removePerson").with(eq(new Long(personId)));
        personManager.removePerson(personId);
        personDao.verify();

        // reset expectations
        personDao.reset();
        // remove
        Exception ex = new ObjectRetrievalFailureException(Person.class, person.getId());
        personDao.expects(once()).method("removePerson").isVoid();            
        personDao.expects(once()).method("getPerson").will(throwException(ex));
        personManager.removePerson(personId);
        try {
            personManager.getPerson(personId);
            fail("Person with identifier '" + personId + "' found in database");
        catch (ObjectRetrievalFailureException e) {
            assertNotNull(e.getMessage());
        }
        personDao.verify();
    }

This class won't compile at this point because we have not created our PersonManager interface.

I think it's funny how I've followed so many patterns to allow extendibility in AppFuse. In reality, on most projects I've been on - I learn so much in a year that I don't want to extend the architecture - I want to rewrite it. Hopefully by keeping AppFuse up to date with my perceived best practices, this won't happen as much. Each year will just be an upgrade to the latest AppFuse, rather than a re-write. ;-)

Crea un nuovo Manager per parlare con il DAO [#2]

First off, create a PersonManager.java interface in the src/service/**/service directory and specify the basic CRUD methods for any implementation classes. I've eliminated the JavaDocs in the class below for display purposes. The setPersonDao() method is not used in most cases - its just exists so the PersonManagerTest can set the DAO on the interface.

As usual, I usually duplicate (open → save as) an existing file (i.e. UserManager.java).


package org.appfuse.service;

import org.appfuse.model.Person;
import org.appfuse.dao.PersonDao;

public interface PersonManager {
    public void setPersonDao(PersonDao dao);
    public Person getPerson(String id);
    public void savePerson(Person person);
    public void removePerson(String id);
}

Now let's create a PersonManagerImpl class that implements the methods in PersonManager. To do this, create a new class in src/service/**/service/impl and name it PersonManagerImpl.java. It should extend BaseManager and implement PersonManager.


package org.appfuse.service.impl;

import org.appfuse.model.Person;
import org.appfuse.dao.PersonDao;
import org.appfuse.service.PersonManager;

public class PersonManagerImpl extends BaseManager implements PersonManager {
    private PersonDao dao;

    public void setPersonDao(PersonDao dao) {
        this.dao = dao;
    }

    public Person getPerson(String id) {
        return dao.getPerson(Long.valueOf(id));
    }

    public void savePerson(Person person) {
        dao.savePerson(person);
    }

    public void removePerson(String id) {
        dao.removePerson(Long.valueOf(id));
    }
}

One thing to note is the setPersonDao() method. This is used by Spring to bind the PersonDao to this Manager. This is configured in the applicationContext-service.xml file. We'll get to configuring that in Step 3[3]. You should be able to compile everything now using "ant compile-service".

Now you need to edit Spring's config file for our services layer so it will know about this new Manager.

Configura Spring per questo Manager e relative Transaction [#3]

To notify Spring of this our PersonManager interface and its implementation, open the src/service/**/service/applicationContext-service.xml file. In here, you should see a commented out definition for the "personManager" bean. Uncomment this, or add the following to the bottom of this file.


    <bean id="personManager" parent="txProxyTemplate">
        <property name="target">
            <bean class="org.appfuse.service.impl.PersonManagerImpl" autowire="byName"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

The "parent" attribute refers to a bean definition for a TransactionProxyFactoryBean that has all the basic transaction attributes set.
