[Springframework-developer] petclinic and tutorial

[Isabelle M. <isa...@me...>]

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking about how to coordinate Ken's and my efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication. I'm basically showing bits and pieces, and intend to cover all packages. What I don't intend to do is to show how to put it all together and get a real application out.
So it seems to me this is where Ken comes in.
I'm currently working on the UML model of the web stuff, which forces me to study the sources. Once that's done, I will expand the web trail of the tutorial a bit more (for ex. validators). Then it's on to JNDI. By the way, Ken, I have a datasource definition for MySQL and Tomcat, I'm attaching it to this mail.
My suggestion for the web demo is :

(1) Describe the use cases that will be handled in the demo. If Ken sends me a text description, I can generate a use case diagram and send him back a jpeg. Mybe also indicate which use cases will be implemented in a later version of the demo.
(2) Do the business model (which you already have), but I would separate out the persistence stuff.
(3) Do the data access layer.

Note that up to now there is nothing web-related.

(4) Explain the flow of the pages which leads you to explain how you set up your controllers. We are now starting the web stuff. You could do this use case by use case, so the users can follow your logic.

(5) Code the views.

What do you think?

Isabelle
