Transfer Object is a simple POJO class having getter/setter methods and * is serializable so that it can be transferred over the network. * It do not have any behavior. * Server Side business class normally fetches data from the database and fills the POJO and send it to the client or pass it by value. * For client, transfer object is read-only. * Client can create its own transfer object and pass it to server to update values in database in one shot. * * Following are the entities of this type of design pattern, * Business Object - Business Service which fills the Transfer Object with data. * Transfer Object -Simple POJO, having methods to set/get attributes only. * Client - Client either requests or sends the Transfer Object to Business Object. */ public class TransferObjectPattern { static class StudentVO { private String name; private int rollNo; StudentVO(String name, int rollNo){ this.name = name; this.rollNo = rollNo; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public int getRollNo() { return rollNo; } public void setRollNo(int rollNo) { this.rollNo = rollNo; } } static class StudentBO { //list is working as a database List<StudentVO> students; public StudentBO(){ students = new ArrayList<StudentVO>(); StudentVO student1 = new StudentVO("Robert",0); StudentVO student2 = new StudentVO("John",1); students.add(student1); students.add(student2); } public void deleteStudent(StudentVO student) { students.remove(student.getRollNo()); System.out.println("Student: Roll No " + student.getRollNo() +", deleted from database"); } //retrive list of students from the database public List<StudentVO> getAllStudents() { return students; } public StudentVO getStudent(int rollNo) { return students.get(rollNo); } public void updateStudent(StudentVO student) { students.get(student.getRollNo()).setName(student.getName()); System.out.println("Student: Roll No " + student.getRollNo() +", updated in the database"); } } public static void main(String[] args) { StudentBO studentBusinessObject = new StudentBO(); //print all students for (StudentVO student : studentBusinessObject.getAllStudents()) { System.out.println("Student: [RollNo : " +student.getRollNo()+", Name : "+student.getName()+" ]"); } //update student StudentVO student =studentBusinessObject.getAllStudents().get(0); student.setName("Michael"); studentBusinessObject.updateStudent(student); //get the student studentBusinessObject.getStudent(0); System.out.println("Student: [RollNo : " +student.getRollNo()+", Name : "+student.getName()+" ]"); } }
