Rule # | Topic | Model element / type | Recommendation / Best Practice |
|---|---|---|---|
3.1 | Documentation | all | It’s strongly recommended to add documentation to all classes, interfaces, attributes, associations, operations, parameters etc. When ever possible the comment should explain what is the semantics of an model element. To ensure high quality of comments also meaningful examples are very helpful. Please be aware that JEAF Generator will use to comments from the UML model also for the generated code. Due to that documentation should also be compatible with Javadoc guidelines. |
3.2 | Primitive Types | Properties | We strongly recommend to either only use primitive types or only Java wrapper types. There are pro’s and con’s for both approaches. So most important is that your model is consistent |
3.3 | Primitive Types | Operations of business objects | We strongly recommend to not use primitive types nor its Wrappers as parameters / return types for business operations. Instead whenever possible real objects that represent the business should be used. |
3.4 | Primitive Types | Service operations | We strongly recommend to not use primitive types nor its Wrappers as parameters / return types for service operations. Instead whenever possible real objects that represent the business should be used. |
3.5 | Enumerations | Properties | We strongly recommend to use enumerations instead of primitive types / wrappers in case that you have lists of possible values. |
3.6 | Exception | We recommend to make use of JEAF’s Exception Handling concept. It distinguishes between technical and business exceptions. They can be easily modeled using stereotypes Please also refer to How to model Exceptions | |
3.7 | Deprecations | Any model element | Over time software changes and some functionality may be outdated. It’s still there but it should not be used any longer and it will be removed sooner or later. In this case you should make use of so called deprecations. Deprecations are markers that indicate that a specific model element should not be used any longer. To do so, you just have to apply the stereotype JEAF Generator will also mark the generated code as deprecated. Remark:
