Over the last few months we’ve been seriously considering donating both the original Naked Objects framework as well as my sister projects to the Apache Software Foundation, sounding out various people and gauging interest. Today we formally announced a proposal for a new project to be accepted into the Apache incubator. The name [...]

Domain-driven design (DDD) focuses on what matters in enterprise applications: the core business domain. And Naked Objects lets you build DDD applications just by writing the core domain classes, the rest of the application is taken care of for you. This blog supplements and expands on my book, Domain Driven Design using Naked Objects, describing how you can rapidly develop and test domain applications using Naked Objects. |
We’re currently considering refactoring the Naked Objects framework to use JSR-330 (dependency injection) and EE-oriented big brother, JSR-299 (CDI). Using vanilla JSR-330 is a no-brainer, but there are also some nice features in JSR-299 that we’d like to exploit (such as events and decorators). The snag? The Naked Objects must also run [...] In my book I focus on the open source Java version of Naked Objects, but (as I briefly mention) there is also a commercial version of Naked Objects that runs on .NET. This is developed by Richard Pawson’s company, Richard being the originator of the Naked Objects pattern; (Richard and I continue to work [...] Over the last few months I’ve been plugging away at another sister project for Naked Objects, this time a new web-based viewer built using the Apache Wicket web framework. I reckon it’s now in a fit enough state to be tried out more widely, and hopefully find some contributors with better web UI skills [...] Doing another run of my TDD course, and one of the attendees raised an interesting question: are there any tools to automatically test pojo getters and setters? We couldn’t find any, and it sounded like a challenge worth tackling.
I was at the SPA conference last week, ostensibly to do a little talk on Naked Objects, but mostly to mix and talk with some cleverer people than me to pick up some new ideas. In a break I was asked whether Naked Objects supported Groovy. To which my answer was: “well, no, but it’s [...] You might (but then again might not) have noticed a couple of new (permanent) pages at the top of this blog. The first lists a number of project ideas for extending Naked Objects, of various sizes. As well as being indicative of the flexibility of the NO framework, I’m also hoping that they’ll inspire anyone [...] A topic that comes around now and again on the DDD newsgroup is how to provide access to a domain service (or a repository) to an entity. This service might be very generic, e.g. a NotificationService so that the entity can raise a domain event. Or, it might be quite specific, e.g. an [...] |
