External Resources / Links¶

Hibernate¶

• Hibernate works with most current RDBMS. See supported databases
• On CascadeType.DELETE and CascadeType=DELETE_ORPHAN

Spring Framework¶

We use the Spring framework (version 4.3.x or higher) to develop the library and keep the coupling of components low.

• Spring4.3.x Documentation
• Introduction to the Spring Framework

Domain Models¶

• Domain Models and Validation. An Architectural Discussion
• Avoiding anemic domain models with Hibernate
• Business Object Pattern
• AnemicDomainModel Anti Pattern

Property Change¶

Useful Patterns¶

• ApplicationService Pattern

Aspect Oriented Programming¶

We use AspectJ to implement the change property crosscutting concern:
