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.

The enterprise as an application


To withstand the high, competitive, and daily increasing requirements, it's becoming more and more difficult nowadays to develop an enterprise application. The difficulty is due to more than one kind of service, requirement of application to be robust and should support concurrency, security, and many more. Along with these things, enterprise applications should provide an easy user interface but good look and feel for different users. We are going to explore all these things in detail in this as well as in upcoming chapters.

In the last chapter, we discussed enterprise applications. The discussion was more over understanding the terminology or the aspect. Let's now discuss it in terms of development, and what developers look forward to:

  • The very first thing even before starting the development is: what we are we developing and why? Yes, as a developer we need to understand the requirements or the expectations from the application. Developers have to develop...
