Bean Managed Persistence |
| CMP |
Container Managed Persistence |
| Composite |
A complex object that holds other objects.
Also related to the Composite pattern described in the GoF book. |
| Controller |
Controller Interacts with a client,
controlling and managing the handling of each request. |
| Data Access Object |
An object that encapsulates and abstracts
access to data from a persistent store or an external system. |
| Delegate |
A stand-in, or surrogate, object for
another component; an intermediate layer. A Delegate has qualities
of a proxy and façade. |
| Dependent Object |
An object that does not exist by itself
and whose lifecycle is managed by another object. |
| Dispatcher |
Some of the responsibilities of a Controller
include managing the choice of and dispatching to an appropriate View.
This behavior may be partitioned into a separate component, referred
to as a Dispatcher. |
| Enterprise Bean |
Refers to an Enterprise JavaBean component;
can be a session or entity bean instance. When this term is used,
it means that the bean instance can be either an entity or a session
bean. |
| Façade |
A pattern for hiding underlying complexities;
described in the GoF book.
Factory (Abstract Factory or Factory Method) Patterns described in
the GoF book for creating objects or families of objects. |
| Iterator |
A pattern to provide accessors to underlying
collection facilities; described in the GoF book. |
| GoF |
Gang of Four—refers to the authors
of the popular design patterns book, Design Patterns: Elements of
Reusable Object-Oriented Software, by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph
Johnson, and John Vlissides. [GoF] |
| Helper |
Responsible for helping the Controller
and/or View. For example, the Controller and View may delegate the
following to a Helper: content retrieval, validation, storing the
model or adapting it for use by the display.
|
| Independent Object |
An object that can exist by itself and
may manage the lifecycles of its dependent objects. |
| JDO |
Java Data Objects |
| JMS |
Java Message Service |
| MDB |
Message Driven Bean |
| Model |
A physical or logical representation
of the system or its subsystem. |
| Persistent Store |
Represents persistent storage systems
such as RDBMSs, ODBMSs, file systems, and so forth. |
| POJO |
Proxy A pattern to provide a placeholder
for another object to control access to it; described in the GoF book. |
| Scriptlet |
Application logic embedded directly within
a JSP. |
| Session Bean |
Refers to a stateless or stateful session
bean. May also refer collectively to the session bean’s home,
remote object, and bean implementation. |
| Singleton |
A pattern that provides a single instance
of an object, as described in the GoF book. |
| Template |
Template text refers to the literal text
encapsulated within a JSP View. Additionally, a template may refer
to a specific layout of components in a display. |
| Transfer Object |
A serializable POJO that is used to carry
data from one object/tier to another. It does not contain any business
methods. |
| View |
The View manages the graphics and text
that make up the display. It interacts with Helpers to get data values
with which to populate the display. Additionally, it may delegate
activities, such as content retrieval, to its Helpers. |
