Overview of this book

When developers document the architecture of their systems, they often invent their own specific ways of articulating structures, designs, concepts, and decisions. What they need is a template that enables simple and efficient software architecture documentation. arc42 by Example shows how it's done through several real-world examples. Each example in the book, whether it is a chess engine, a huge CRM system, or a cool web system, starts with a brief description of the problem domain and the quality requirements. Then, you'll discover the system context with all the external interfaces. You'll dive into an overview of the solution strategy to implement the building blocks and runtime scenarios. The later chapters also explain various cross-cutting concerns and how they affect other aspects of a program.

III.2 Constraints

The following are the constraints for MaMa:

General Constraints

The general constraints for MaMa are as follows:

  • Set up a campaign without programming:
  • To set up a campaign, no programming is necessary. Configuration in various forms is allowed.
  • Implementation based on Java:
  • MaMa-CRM works on a recent Java runtime (>1.6).
  • Use Oracle as a database:

    The InDAC holding company has negotiated a favorable deal with Oracle Inc. in terms of license and maintenance fees. Therefore, Oracle DB has to be used for data storage.

Software Infrastructure Constraints

The software-related constraints are as follows:

  • Linux operating system (preferably Red Hat Enterprise Linux as hardened editions certified by several security organizations exist).
  • Open source frameworks with liberal licenses are possible (GNU and FSF licenses not allowed).
  • Code generation/ Model Driven Software Development (MDSD) preferred for development.
  • Use of the UML modeling tool...
