Hands-On Design Patterns with Java

By: Dr. Edward Lavieri

Overview of this book

Java design patterns are reusable and proven solutions to software design problems. This book covers over 60 battle-tested design patterns used by developers to create functional, reusable, and flexible software. Hands-On Design Patterns with Java starts with an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and delves into class and object diagrams with the help of detailed examples. You'll study concepts and approaches to object-oriented programming (OOP) and OOP design patterns to build robust applications. As you advance, you'll explore the categories of GOF design patterns, such as behavioral, creational, and structural, that help you improve code readability and enable large-scale reuse of software. You’ll also discover how to work effectively with microservices and serverless architectures by using cloud design patterns, each of which is thoroughly explained and accompanied by real-world programming solutions. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to speed up your software development process using the right design patterns, and you’ll be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Understanding the event-driven communication design pattern

The event-driven communication design pattern is based on initiating events such as a query or node request. This event initiates communication between multiple components. The communications between system components can be managed as messages.

To manage these messages, we implement a scheduler to listen to the initiating events and then process the necessary communication via handlers. As illustrated next, the scheduler plays a critical role in the overall communication management system, so care should be taken to make sure it catches exceptions and processes them appropriately:

The handlers illustrated in the preceding diagram represent a module of code that is generally short with respect to the amount of functionality that it provides. So,...
