Model
Before we dive into the entire model, let's show an example and how it would be modelled in Strolch and use in Strolch:
The model has four entities, which will be modelled using 3 Resources and 1 Order object. The objects have numerous fields and the following relationships:
- Bidirectional between Article <-> Product
- Unidirectional from Order -> Article
- Unidirectional from Order -> Customer
A possible model would look as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<StrolchModel xmlns="https://strolch.li/xsd/StrolchModel-1.6.xsd">
<Resource Id="Product" Name="Product Template" Type="Template">
<ParameterBag Id="parameters" Name="Parameters" Type="Parameters">
<Parameter Id="description" Name="Description" Type="String" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="color" Name="Color" Type="String" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="form" Name="Form" Type="String" Value=""/>
</ParameterBag>
<ParameterBag Id="relations" Name="Relations" Type="Relations">
<Parameter Id="articles" Name="Articles" Type="StringList" Interpretation="Resource-Ref" Uom="Article" Value=""/>
</ParameterBag>
</Resource>
<Resource Id="Article" Name="Article Template" Type="Template">
<ParameterBag Id="parameters" Name="Parameters" Type="Parameters">
<Parameter Id="description" Name="Description" Type="String" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="barcode" Name="Barcode" Type="String" Value=""/>
</ParameterBag>
<ParameterBag Id="relations" Name="Relations" Type="Relations">
<Parameter Id="product" Name="Product" Type="String" Interpretation="Resource-Ref" Uom="Product" Value=""/>
</ParameterBag>
</Resource>
<Resource Id="Customer" Name="Customer Template" Type="Template">
<ParameterBag Id="address" Name="Address" Type="Address">
<Parameter Id="street" Name="Street" Type="String" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="zip" Name="Zip" Type="String" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="city" Name="City" Type="String" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="country" Name="Country" Type="String" Value=""/>
</ParameterBag>
</Resource>
<Order Id="Order" Name="Order" Type="Template">
<ParameterBag Id="quantities" Name="Quantities per Article Id" Type="Quantities">
<Parameter Id="quantity" Name="Quantity" Type="Float" Value="0"/>
</ParameterBag>
<ParameterBag Id="relations" Name="Relations" Type="Relations">
<Parameter Id="articles" Name="Articles" Type="StringList" Interpretation="Resource-Ref" Uom="Article" Value=""/>
<Parameter Id="customer" Name="Customer" Type="String" Interpretation="Resource-Ref" Uom="Customer" Value=""/>
</ParameterBag>
</Order>
</StrolchModel>
Let's go through this model:
- In the above model we see that the
id
andname
fields are always on the element, and thus aren't added as parameters. Further best practice is to use aparameters
ParameterBag, with one or more parameters, modelling the fields. There is API support to not have to always type theparameters
bag id. - Note that in this example the Type of all the elements is
Template
. Strolch has API support to create a clone of these elements, so that they have a unique id, and the proper type for persistence. - The
Product
element has three parameters:description
,color
andform
. In this case they are all of type String. Further therelations
ParameterBag defines the relationships, i.e. the product knows its articles. Note how the relation is first defined in a relations ParameterBag and that the Parameter hasInterpretation="Resource-Ref" Uom="Product"
attributes. Strolch has API support for this, making it trivial to retrieve a dependency. - The
Article
element has two parametersdescription
andbarcode
. Further it has a reference to its Product. - The
Order
element doesn't model thedate
andstate
fields as parameters, as these are inherently part of an Order element. The Order does define two references to customer and articles. A special case is thequantities
ParameterBag. This bag of parameters is used to store the per article quantity for this order. With ParameterBags, you can eliminate the use of simple aggregate classes, as is commonly used in object-oriented programming. - The
Customer
element models anaddress
ParameterBag to store the address of a customer. Using a separate bag allows for further more direct fields to stored on the default parameters bag.
Now that we have a basic understanding of te model, it is of far more interest in how to create and interact with these elements at runtime. The following listing will perform simple operations:
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// keep IDs for later use
String dafalganId;
String dafalgan1Id;
String dafalgan2Id;
String customerId;
String orderId;
// first transaction to create the data
try (StrolchTransaction tx = runtimeMock.openUserTx(certificate, false)) {
/*
* create a new product
*/
Resource dafalgan = tx.getResourceTemplate("Product", true);
dafalgan.setName("Dafalgan 100mg");
dafalgan.setString("description", "Dafalgan is for pain.");
dafalgan.setString("color", "Yellow");
dafalgan.setString("form", "flat");
/*
* create articles
*/
Resource dafalgan1 = tx.getResourceTemplate("Article", true);
dafalgan1.setName("Dafalgan 100mg 10 pce");
dafalgan1.setString("description", "This is pack with 10 pieces.");
dafalgan1.setString("barcode", "654654");
Resource dafalgan2 = tx.getResourceTemplate("Article", true);
dafalgan2.setName("Dafalgan 100mg 20 pce");
dafalgan2.setString("description", "This is pack with 20 pieces.");
dafalgan2.setString("barcode", "654655");
/*
* add reference to product
*/
dafalgan1.setRelation("product", dafalgan);
dafalgan2.setRelation("product", dafalgan);
dafalgan.addRelation("articles", dafalgan1);
dafalgan.addRelation("articles", dafalgan2);
/*
* create a new customer
*/
Resource customer1 = tx.getResourceTemplate("Customer", true);
customer1.setName("John Doe");
// set address
ParameterBag addressBag = customer1.getParameterBag("address", true);
addressBag.setString("street", "Main Str. 1");
addressBag.setString("zip", "1234");
addressBag.setString("city", "Hometown");
addressBag.setString("country", "Switzerland");
/*
* create a new order
*/
Order order = tx.getOrderTemplate("Order", true);
order.setName("Order for " + customer1.getName());
order.setDate(LocalDate.of(2021, 2, 1));
order.setState(State.PLANNED);
// store reference to customer
order.setRelation("customer", customer1);
StringListParameter orderArticlesP = order.getRelationsParam("articles", true);
ParameterBag quantitiesBag = order.getParameterBag("quantities", true);
FloatParameter quantityT = quantitiesBag.removeParameter("quantity");
// order quantity of 20 for Dafalgan 1
quantitiesBag.setDouble(dafalgan1.getId(), 20);
order.addRelation("articles", dafalgan1);
// set order quantity of 10 for Dafalgan 2
quantitiesBag.setDouble(dafalgan2.getId(), 20);
order.addRelation("articles", dafalgan2);
// keep IDs for later use
dafalganId = dafalgan.getId();
dafalgan1Id = dafalgan1.getId();
dafalgan2Id = dafalgan2.getId();
customerId = customer1.getId();
orderId = order.getId();
/*
* persist
*/
tx.add(dafalgan);
tx.add(dafalgan1);
tx.add(dafalgan2);
tx.add(customer1);
tx.add(order);
// commit
tx.commitOnClose();
}
}
}
class Scratch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// keep IDs for later use
String dafalganId;
String dafalgan1Id;
String dafalgan2Id;
String customerId;
String orderId;
//
// .. snip ...
//
// second transaction to query the data
try (StrolchTransaction tx = runtimeMock.openUserTx(certificate, true)) {
// get order
Order order = tx.getOrderBy("Order", orderId, true);
assertEquals("Order for John Doe", order.getName());
// get customer
Resource customer = tx.getResourceByRelation(order, "customer", true);
assertEquals("John Doe", customer.getName());
// get articles
List<Resource> articles = tx.getResourcesByRelation(order, "articles", true);
assertEquals(2, articles.size());
// get products by stream
List<Resource> products = articles.stream().map(a -> tx.getResourceByRelation(a, "product", true))
.distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());
assertEquals(1, products.size());
// search for all orders in state PLANNED and with customer
List<Order> orders = new OrderSearch().types("Order").stateIsIn(State.PLANNED)
.where(ExpressionsSupport.relationParam("customer").isEqualTo(customerId)).search(tx).toList();
assertEquals(1, orders.size());
}
}
}
