Java EE 8 Design Patterns and Best Practices

By: Rhuan Rocha, Joao Carlos Purificação

Overview of this book

Patterns are essential design tools for Java developers. Java EE Design Patterns and Best Practices helps developers attain better code quality and progress to higher levels of architectural creativity by examining the purpose of each available pattern and demonstrating its implementation with various code examples. This book will take you through a number of patterns and their Java EE-specific implementations. In the beginning, you will learn the foundation for, and importance of, design patterns in Java EE, and then will move on to implement various patterns on the presentation tier, business tier, and integration tier. Further, you will explore the patterns involved in Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) and take a closer look at reactive patterns. Moving on, you will be introduced to modern architectural patterns involved in composing microservices and cloud-native applications. You will get acquainted with security patterns and operational patterns involved in scaling and monitoring, along with some patterns involved in deployment. By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently address common problems faced when developing applications and will be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Implementing the Session Façade pattern


Let's make a small application related to the academic world. We will make two façades—one façade to manage the financial part of the application, and one to manage the academic part of the application. We will also construct some other classes, such as DAO classes and classes of the domain model. There is no database; all the data is kept in memory through the DAO classes. Consequently, the methods designed for finding information are built into the DAO classes. Let's create the following domain model classes: Discipline, Course, Member (Member is an abstract class that represents a member of a college), Professor, and Student:

import java.io.Serializable;

public class Discipline implements Serializable{
  private String name;
  private String code;

  @Override
  public int hashCode() {
    final int prime = 31;
    int result = 1;
    result = prime * result + ((code == null) ? 0 : code.hashCode());
    return result;
  }
  @Override
  public boolean...
