Working towards decoupled code: Part 3 Ioc Containers(www.mattlong.com.au)

submitted by mattdlong(90) 1 year, 6 months ago

In my previous two posts I tackled a couple of methods which can be used to work towards decoupled code, the Service Locator and Dependency Injection. I also spoke about the limitations of a traditional service locator in that all objects that are dependent on other objects will need to become dependent on the service locator in order to decouple themselves from those dependencies. This is not ideal when we are trying to work towards decoupled code, but it was a good start. read more...

submitted by mattdlong(90) 1 year, 6 months ago

In my previous post I spoke about what I consider to be coupled code and how it effects the maintainability and testability of a code base. I also spoke about one method of reducing code coupling in an effort to achieve our goals of maintanability and testability, the Service Locator. read more...

More Business Object Abstraction Fun: Abstracting basic CRUD operation(www.mattlong.com.au)

submitted by mattdlong(90) 2 years, 1 month ago

In my previous post I spoke about how we had gone about abstracting the injection of Repositories into our business objects in the project I am currently working on. What we went on to find was that once we had abstracted the repository, and the responsibility of injecting the repository into an EntityBase class, we were then able to identify more behavior that was common among our objects that we were able to abstract. read more...

The Big Business Object Repository Injection Abstraction(www.mattlong.com.au)

submitted by mattdlong(90) 2 years, 1 month ago

I’m currently working on a project where our business objects pretty much marry off one for one with our repositories, ie. if we had a Business object named Customer, we would always assume that its persistence mechanism will be an object named something like CustomerRepository, or more accurately an object implementing an interface named ICustomerRepository. read more...

Mapping Relationships using Fluent nHibernate(www.mattlong.com.au)

submitted by mattdlong(90) 2 years, 3 months ago

In my last post I went over the basics of mapping properties on a POCO object to fields on a database table. If you haven’t already check it out here. In this post I’m going to focus on mapping relationships, that is, what if we wanted our objects to contain concrete references to the objects with which they have relationships, rather than just foreign key properties. read more...
