Slide 5
Row Data Gateway An object that acts as a single record in the data source There is one instance per row Fowler RDG combines two roles Class Finder with find(id):Gateway method which returns the object Class Gateway which is the object Our PersGradeRDG (next slide) combines
Slide 6
Row Data Gateway PersGradeRDG - name : String - grade : int + PersGradeRDG(name, grade) + find(name) : PersGradeRDG + insert() : void + update() : void + delete() : void + getters and setters
Slide 7
Row Data Gateway: Find Code
Slide 8
Row Data Gateway Code sample for Fowlers PersonRDG Note find method is static it is class method
Slide 9
GetByLastName Example Simple web application to Input a students last name Fetch database record Output students full name
Slide 10
GetByLastName Will look at Row Data Gateway PageController Transaction Script
Slide 11
Row Data Gateway StudInfoRDG Represents record in DB of student StudInfoFinder Finds student record based on lastName Returns the StudInfoRDG Locates DB using DBRegistry
Slide 12

Slide 15
Transaction Script Fowler: A TS organizes the business logic primarily as a single procedure where each procedure handles a single request from the presentation. The TS may make calls directly to the DB or through a thin DB wrapper. Think of a script for: a use case or business transaction. Implementation can be shared among subroutines. Subroutines can be used by more than one script
Slide 16
Transaction Script is essentially a procedure that takes the input from the presentation, processes it with validations and calculations, stores data in the database, (invokes any operations from other systems, and) replies with more data to the presentation perhaps doing more calculation to help organize and format the reply data. (Fowler)
Slide 17
GetByLastName Will look at Row Data Gateway PageController Transaction Script
Slide 18
Do-it-all Transaction Script A TS that does all the work itself Without a Finder Without a RDG Directly calls DB
Slide 19
Do-it-all Servlet or Script, Class public class DoItAll extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet { protected void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws... // { }

Slide 23
Page Controller Fowler: A Page Controller is an object that handles a request for a specific page or action on a web site. There is one input controller for each logical page of the web site. Page Controller handles the http get and post Decides which model and view to use
Slide 24
Page Controller Responsibilities: Decode the URL, extract any form data, decide action Create and invoke any model objects All relevant data from the html request should be passed to the model, so the model does not need any connection to html request Determine which view should display the result page Forward model information to it Helper objects can be created/used to perform tasks that are shared
Slide 25
Page Controller Fowler Example: display info about a recording artist ActionServlet implements common forward task ArtistController implements doGet() Checks artist name is ok Creates a new ArtistHelper object with Artist as attribute Adds helper information to html request Forwards request to Artist.jsp Artist.jsp is a TemplateView which gets information to display from helper object (which it gets from request)
Slide 26
Page Controller
Slide 27
GetByLastName Will look at Row Data Gateway PageController Transaction Script
Slide 28
Page Controller SOEN EA sample: display info about a student PageController implements doGet() Delegates to transaction script Note: does not follow Fowlers use of.jsp delegates rather than forwards no explicit helper object (really StudInfoRDG is helper)
