Re: @CommitAfter for GenericDao

2014-05-16 Thread John
so this?

FooFacade {

@CommitAfter
public void saveSomething(Something something) {
doSaveSomething(something);
}

@CommitAfter
public void saveAListOfSomethings(List somethings) {
   for (Something something : somethings) { doSaveSomething(something); }
}

private void doSaveSomething(Something something) {
  // add a bunch of validations
  // and maybe a bunch of business rules
  // and then updates to other objects
  // and then finally
  dao.save(something);

  // oh and maybe some post processing
}

}

You just add 3 lines of code and retain SoC.

  The problem we ran into was explicitly what I documented in my original 
e-mail.  In our Spring based implementation all  of our @Transactional 
annotations we in our "logic" layer, and it worked well.  I started out using 
@CommitAfter exactly the same way, until I ran into methods like:

  public void saveSomething(Something something) {
// add a bunch of validations
// and maybe a bunch of business rules
// and then updates to other objects
// and then finally
dao.save(something);

// oh and maybe some post processing
  }

  public void saveAListOfSomethings(List somethings) {
 for (Something something : somethings) { saveSomething(something); }
  }

  After running into this too many times in our codebase, we made the decision 
to remove all @CommitAfter annotation from our logic layer (even wrote a test 
case) and push them out to where the actual transaction logically existed.  For 
us this includes web pages, REST endpoints, and even command line programs.  
This has worked very well for us.

  I'm also not sure I completely agree with your separation of concerns 
argument either.  Granted, I would never allow anyone to @Inject Session into a 
page class, that definitely belongs in the DAO layer, but a simple annotation 
the demarks a transaction doesn't feel out of place to me in a page class.

Thanks to all for detailed explanations,

The facade pattern looks good for me ;-)
I'll change my architecture to met it...

Re: @CommitAfter for GenericDao

2014-05-05 Thread John
At the risk of sounding like a fanatic...

I would avoid using @CommitAfter or anything similar to do with persistence in 
page classes, it contravenes the OO "seperation of concerns" principle. (For 
the same reasons @CommitAfter should also not be in interface definitions as 
suggested in the Tapestry docs' because it's implementation specific.)

A better place would be a facade layer* between your DAOs and your page 
classes. This might not be justified if you want to keep your application 
architecture minimal, but even so it represents best practice and is a great 
place to code your business logic. Your page classes can then focus exclusively 
on delivery of page content and your DAOs on pure data access.

regards,
John

  From my experience, you really don't want to put CommitAfter on a generic 
method like that.

  It really doesn't do what you expect in code like this:

  void saveSomeData(List widgets) {
for (Widget w: widgets) {
  widgetDao.saveWidget(widget);
}
  }

  In that case, assuming saveWidget is annotated with @CommitAfter, every 
iteration of the loop will commit separately, which is likely not what you want.

  The @CommitAfter annotation is much better used in your page classes to 
commit transactions after a logical unit of work is complete.

RE: @CommitAfter for GenericDao

2014-05-01 Thread Lance Java
For the record, I agree with what Tony has said. It's usually better to
@CommitAfter on a page action or on a service rather than a low level DAO.

That being said, I think your problem is annotating the interface instead
of the concrete class. Prior to recent 5.4 builds, annotations were not
copied from interface to service. Thiago has fixed this recently and if you
upgrade to 5.4 beta you can annotate the interface.


RE: @CommitAfter for GenericDao

2014-04-30 Thread Tony Nelson
From my experience, you really don't want to put CommitAfter on a generic 
method like that.

It really doesn't do what you expect in code like this:

void saveSomeData(List widgets) {
  for (Widget w: widgets) {
widgetDao.saveWidget(widget);
  }
}

In that case, assuming saveWidget is annotated with @CommitAfter, every 
iteration of the loop will commit separately, which is likely not what you want.

The @CommitAfter annotation is much better used in your page classes to commit 
transactions after a logical unit of work is complete.

@CommitAfter for GenericDao

2014-04-30 Thread Eugen
Hi,
I try to use the CommitAfter on a GenericDao, but the method does not
commit the transaction. Does it exists a worcaround to do that?

This is the code:

public interface GenericDao {
@CommitAfter
public void save(T entity);
}

public abstract class GenericDaoImpl {
@Override
public void save(T entity) {
entityManager.persist(entity);
}
}

public interface UserDao extends GenericDao {
}

public class UserDaoImpl extends GenericDaoImpl implements UserDao {
}

and respective advisor in AppModule:

@Match("*Dao")
public static void adviseTransactions(JpaTransactionAdvisor advisor,
MethodAdviceReceiver receiver) {
advisor.addTransactionCommitAdvice(receiver);
}

if I place the save() function into the UserDao all works fine.

Thanks in advice
Eugen
