Design Principles: Modularity

✔
Set of tightly coupled modules
✔
Separated by functionality/responsibility
✔
Deployed as a set of jars
✔
Dynamically loaded at boot time
 Design Principles: Extensibility

The Open-Closed Principle (OCP):

“ the behavior of a software artifact ought to
be extensible, without having to modify
that artifact “

Chapter 8, page 70
 Design Principles: Extensibility

•
heavy usage of ServiceLoader

•
Usage of interfaces/contracts rather than
implementations
 Common Design patterns: AbstractFactory

*ProviderFactory<*Provider> extend ProviderFactory<T extends

Provider>
*Provider extend Provider
 Common Design patterns: AbstractFactory
“Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without
specifying their concrete classes”

Use Cases:

• a system should be independent of how its products are created, Chapter 3, page 77
composed,
and represented.
• a system should be configured with one of multiple families of products.
• you want to provide a class library of products, and you want to reveal
just their interfaces, not their implementations.
