Data access layer and schema definitions
3 likes8,476 views
Luciano Resende is a staff software engineer at Shutterfly and committer to Apache projects. He presented on using MongoDB and developing a data access layer and schema definition. The schema definition uses a textual domain-specific language to define models for code generation including persistence, DTOs, mapping, validation and more across platforms like Java, RDBMS and MongoDB.

- 5. The Platform • Applications will interact with MongoDB persistence via services • Enforce a consistent schema across multiple applications and cross-platform Services • Data Access Layer • Data Access Layer that in Data Access Layer conjunction with UDDL abstracts the persistence layer allowing for more flexible and UDDL clean code • A cross platform data schema definition (text DSL) • Simple human (& machine) readable language to describe our domain model entities December 8, 2011 MongoSV 2011 5
- 7. Schema Definition – Why using Text DSL • Platform independent data definition. • (Annotated) POJO (JAXB, JPA, Morphia) has too much noises and is abuse-prone. We want to enforce the patterns. • XSD is too complicated and it doesn’t fit all for web 2.0 • We need a simple human (& machine) readable language to describe our domain model to provide/promote: • Service-friendly DTO, Persistence (RDB and NoSQL), Governance, Reuse, Validation, MVC, Best Practice, Documentation • We call the DSL as Universal Data Definition Language (UDDL). • Unify Data Definition across different platform application domains December 8, 2011 MongoSV 2011 7
- 8. Our decision: Textual DSL • Derived from an Apache licensed open source project Sculptor • http://fornax.itemis.de/confluence/display/fornax/Sculptor+%28CSC%29 • Easy to learn, intuitive syntax of the textual DSL, based on the concepts from DDD. • Textual DSL has a lot of productivity benefits over graphical tools • Quick development round trip, short feedback loop • Generation of complete application from a single model, not only fragments that are hard to fit in to the overall design • Supports JPA (oracle/mysql/postgresql)/MongoDB/JAXB/Spring/SpringMVC • Great extensibility and customization • Based on Eclipse Xtext/Xtend/Xpand code generation framework • Can be used with text editor or any IDE, but DSL editor with error highlight, code completion, and outline is provided for Eclipse users • Documentation w/ diagrams for domain model • No runtime magic is built into the tools (generated code can be used without the tooling) December 8, 2011 MongoSV 2011 8
