## Intent
|
||||
|
||||
The Business Delegate pattern adds an abstraction layer between
|
||||
presentation and business tiers. By using the pattern we gain loose coupling
|
||||
between the tiers and encapsulate knowledge about how to locate, connect to,
|
||||
and interact with the business objects that make up the application.
|
||||
|
||||
## Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
Real world example
|
||||
|
||||
> A mobile phone application promises to stream any movie in existence to your phone. It captures
|
||||
> the user's search string and passes this on to the business delegate. The business delegate
|
||||
> selects the most suitable video streaming service and plays the video from there.
|
||||
|
||||
In Plain Words
|
||||
|
||||
> Business delegate adds an abstraction layer between the presentation and business tiers.
|
||||
|
||||
Wikipedia says
|
||||
|
||||
> Business delegate is a Java EE design pattern. This pattern is directing to reduce the coupling
|
||||
> in between business services and the connected presentation tier, and to hide the implementation
|
||||
> details of services (including lookup and accessibility of EJB architecture). Business delegates
|
||||
> acts as an adaptor to invoke business objects from the presentation tier.
|
||||
|
||||
**Programmatic Example**
|
||||
|
||||
First, we have an abstraction for video streaming services and a couple of implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface VideoStreamingService {
|
||||
void doProcessing();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Slf4j
|
||||
public class NetflixService implements VideoStreamingService {
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
public void doProcessing() {
|
||||
LOGGER.info("NetflixService is now processing");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Slf4j
|
||||
public class YouTubeService implements VideoStreamingService {
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
public void doProcessing() {
|
||||
LOGGER.info("YouTubeService is now processing");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then we have a lookup service that decides which video streaming service is used.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Setter
|
||||
public class BusinessLookup {
|
||||
|
||||
private NetflixService netflixService;
|
||||
private YouTubeService youTubeService;
|
||||
|
||||
public VideoStreamingService getBusinessService(String movie) {
|
||||
if (movie.toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).contains("die hard")) {
|
||||
return netflixService;
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
return youTubeService;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The business delegate uses a business lookup to route movie playback requests to a suitable
|
||||
video streaming service.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Setter
|
||||
public class BusinessDelegate {
|
||||
|
||||
private BusinessLookup lookupService;
|
||||
|
||||
public void playbackMovie(String movie) {
|
||||
VideoStreamingService videoStreamingService = lookupService.getBusinessService(movie);
|
||||
videoStreamingService.doProcessing();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The mobile client utilizes business delegate to call the business tier.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public class MobileClient {
|
||||
|
||||
private final BusinessDelegate businessDelegate;
|
||||
|
||||
public MobileClient(BusinessDelegate businessDelegate) {
|
||||
this.businessDelegate = businessDelegate;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public void playbackMovie(String movie) {
|
||||
businessDelegate.playbackMovie(movie);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, we can show the full example in action.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public static void main(String[] args) {
|
||||
|
||||
// prepare the objects
|
||||
var businessDelegate = new BusinessDelegate();
|
||||
var businessLookup = new BusinessLookup();
|
||||
businessLookup.setNetflixService(new NetflixService());
|
||||
businessLookup.setYouTubeService(new YouTubeService());
|
||||
businessDelegate.setLookupService(businessLookup);
|
||||
|
||||
// create the client and use the business delegate
|
||||
var client = new MobileClient(businessDelegate);
|
||||
client.playbackMovie("Die Hard 2");
|
||||
client.playbackMovie("Maradona: The Greatest Ever");
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the console output.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
21:15:33.790 [main] INFO com.iluwatar.business.delegate.NetflixService - NetflixService is now processing
|
||||
21:15:33.794 [main] INFO com.iluwatar.business.delegate.YouTubeService - YouTubeService is now processing
|
||||
```

Use the Business Delegate pattern when
|
||||
|
||||
* you want loose coupling between presentation and business tiers
|
||||
* you want to orchestrate calls to multiple business services
|
||||
* you want to encapsulate service lookups and service calls
