  • Ticket #340 – Description

    initial v9  
    1 Association Definitions involving "Many" childs should specify weather the childs have a defined order. 
     1The (DB attached) object implementations (topics, associations, types) have too much responsibility. 
     2The fetch/store code is encapsulated in the respective objects, that is objects fetch and store itself. 
     3This has proven problematic: 
     4- Objects are constructed with incomplete models which causes difficult situations. 
     5- Extending the meta model and reusing fetch/store code becomes cumbersome. 
    26 
    3 Meta model: 
    4 An Association Definition (both, Composition Definition and Aggregation Definition) should provide an "Ordered" flag. 
    5 There should be methods to control the child order programmatically. 
     7New concept: 
     8Strip the fetch/store code from the object implementations and collect it in its own class. This class establishes a high-level storage layer above the existing (low-level) storage layer (DeepaMehtaStorage). This high-level storage layer is responsible for fetching and storing sole models (topic models, association models, type models). Construction of actual (DB attached) objects is up to the application layer (DeepaMehtaService). 
    69 
    7 GUI: 
    8 The webclient's detail panel should render the list of childs as "sortable" (like the topic type editor does). 
     10Note: this ticket was "Meta model: Child Topic Order", see #346. 
     11It turned out that ticket's task demands for the refactoring addressed here.
