io.spine.server.aggregate

Class AggregatePart<I,S extends com.google.protobuf.Message,B extends io.spine.protobuf.ValidatingBuilder<S>,R extends AggregateRoot<I>>

java.lang.Object

io.spine.server.entity.AbstractEntity<I,S>

io.spine.server.entity.TransactionalEntity<I,S,B>

io.spine.server.command.CommandHandlingEntity<I,S,B>

io.spine.server.aggregate.Aggregate<I,S,B>

io.spine.server.aggregate.AggregatePart<I,S,B,R>

Type Parameters:

I - the type for IDs of this class of aggregates

S - the type of the state held by the aggregate part

B - the type of the aggregate part state builder

R - the type of the aggregate root

All Implemented Interfaces:

CommandHandler, CommandReceiver, Entity<I,S>, WithLifecycle, EventReactor, EventReceiver, EventProducer

@Experimental
public abstract class AggregatePart<I,S extends com.google.protobuf.Message,B extends io.spine.protobuf.ValidatingBuilder<S>,R extends AggregateRoot<I>>
extends Aggregate<I,S,B>

A part of a larger aggregate.

Some business logic objects may be big enough. If not all parts of such a business object need to be preserved at the same time as business logic invariants, such an object can be split into several parts.

Each such part would:

• be a class derived from AggregatePart
• have the same aggregate ID as other parts belonging to the same business object
• have own state defined as a Protobuf message
• managed by a separate repository class derived from AggregateRepository

To access parts of the aggregate, AggregateRoot should be used.

If your business logic cannot be split into parts, it can be modified separately. Consider extending Aggregate instead of several AggregateParts.

Constructor Detail

AggregatePart

protected AggregatePart(R root)

Creates a new instance of the aggregate part.

Parameters:

root - a root of the aggregate to which this part belongs

Method Detail

thisClass

protected AggregatePartClass<?> thisClass()

Obtains model class for this aggregate part.

Overrides:

thisClass in class Aggregate<I,S extends com.google.protobuf.Message,B extends io.spine.protobuf.ValidatingBuilder<S>>

partState

protected <P extends com.google.protobuf.Message> P partState(java.lang.Class<P> partStateClass)

Obtains a state of another AggregatePart by its class.

Type Parameters:

P - the type of the part state

Parameters:

partStateClass - the class of the state of the part

Returns:

the state of the part or a default state if the state was not found

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if a repository was not found, or the ID type of the part state does not match the ID type of the root
