Learning Modular Java Programming

By: Tejaswini Mandar Jog

Overview of this book

Modular programming means dividing an application into small parts and then developing it. It is an approach taken by developers to build applications and helps them add efficiency in their development process, thus making it more effective. The book starts with the fundamentals of Modular Programming. Then we move on to the actual implementation, where we teach developers how to divide an application into different modules or layers (such as presentation, execution, security, lifecycle, services, and so on) for better management. Once readers are well-versed in these modules and their development, the book shows how to create bindings in order to join these different modules and form a complete application. Next, the readers will learn how to manage these modules through dependency injection. Later, we move on to testing; readers will learn how to test the different modules of an application. The book ends by teaching readers how to maintain different versions of their application and how to modify it. By the end of the book, readers will have a good understanding of modular programming and will be able to use it to build applications with Java.

Chapter 4. Talking to the Database

On the web, browsing is a common task. The data for which the user is searching will be defined and stored somewhere so that it can be used whenever required. It is not necessarily only in a database; it can be in any format. Can we imagine a dynamic Web without storing data?? Quite difficult to imagine!! Starting from the login to the application and searching for a particular product from the user's perspective, adding new products or updating the existing products from an administrative perspective, in every stage we handle data. In the previous chapter, where we discussed the presentation layer, we were accepting data from the user for registration, searching for a particular ID or when we needed to show the data to the user. But we were not able to save the data as there was no persistency layer included by us.

In this chapter, we will add the persistence layer and find out the following:

  • How to implement the persistence layer to take data from the user...
