Java Swing Model View Adapter Mediator

Typically I build my Java applications based on Spring Framework. However, I was recently asked to implement a Java desktop application for a client using a language agnostic MVC framework – PureMVC, so the following is my demo implementation of the employee admin showcase for PureMVC in Java Swing. If you want to follow along, a runnable demo is available on GitHub. Java Swing MVA Demo

Architectural Summary

This application is using an interesting variation of the common MVC pattern, called the Model View Adapter (MVA) pattern. The Model View Adapter pattern is most notable for it’s clever promotion of loose coupling between view components by introducing a layer of indirection to separate concerns and provide messaging via a mediator and a simple adapter interface. By using value objects and proxy objects, mediators can channel message changes to the model layer without directly binding to domain objects. Even though this implementation requires a bit more boilerplate code, this hybrid design promotes a modular style that’s quite easy to understand and simple to maintain.

Implementing The Application Design

If you’re not familiar with building desktop applications in Swing, The Swing Tutorial can help you get up to speed with the core concepts or you can just download The Sample App and review it as I go along.

As this is a classic Java Swing application, I start out with building the base frame as the entry point containing the three main panels and initialize the ApplicationFacade in a decorated startup method to keep the application thread apart from the GUI’s Event Dispatch Thread.

The following object diagram illustrates how the EmployeeAdmin class constructs the three main components and then calls the startup method.

The order is pretty simple here. First, build the base frame, then the three main components, initialize the ApplicationFacade and then run the base frame.

package employeeadmin;

import api.Utils.GBC;
import employeeadmin.view.components.RolePanel;
import employeeadmin.view.components.UserForm;
import employeeadmin.view.components.UserList;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett
 */
public class EmployeeAdmin extends JFrame implements Runnable {

	private UserList userList;
	private UserForm userForm;
	private RolePanel rolePanel;

	public EmployeeAdmin() {
		build();
	}

	private void build() {
		setTitle( "Java Swing Model View Adapter (MVA) Demo" );
		setLayout( new GridBagLayout() );
		setDefaultCloseOperation( WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
		setResizable( false );
		buildComponents();
		startup();
		pack();
		setLocationRelativeTo( null );
		setVisible( true );
	}

	private void buildComponents() {

		JPanel basePanel = new JPanel( new GridBagLayout() );

		userList = new UserList();
		userForm = new UserForm();
		rolePanel = new RolePanel();

		GBC userListConstraints = new GBC( 0, 0, 2, 1 )
			.setWeight( 1, 1 ).setAnchor( GBC.NORTH ).setFill( GBC.BOTH ).setInsets( 0, 0, 0, 0 ).setIpad( 0, 0 );
		basePanel.add( userList, userListConstraints );

		GBC userFormConstraints = new GBC( 0, 1, 1, 1 ).setWeight( 1, .5 )
			.setAnchor( GBC.LINE_START )
			.setFill( GBC.BOTH )
			.setInsets(
				0, 0, 0, 0 )
			.setIpad( 0, 0 );
		basePanel.add( userForm, userFormConstraints );

		GBC rolePanelConstraints = new GBC( 1, 1, 1, 1 )
			.setWeight( 1, .5 )
			.setAnchor( GBC.LINE_END )
			.setFill( GBC.BOTH )
			.setInsets( 0, 0, 0, 0 )
			.setIpad( 0, 0 );
		basePanel.add( rolePanel, rolePanelConstraints );

		GBC basePanelConstraints = new GBC( 0, 0, 1, 1 ).setWeight( 1, 1 )
			.setFill( GBC.BOTH )
			.setAnchor( GBC.CENTER )
			.setInsets( 0, 0, 0, 0 )
			.setIpad( 0, 0 );
		add( basePanel, basePanelConstraints );
	}

	protected void startup() {
		ApplicationFacade.getInstance().startup( this );
	}

	public static void main( String... args ) {
		try {
			UIManager.setLookAndFeel( new NimbusLookAndFeel() );
		} catch( UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e ) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		new EmployeeAdmin().run();
	}

	@Override
	public void run() {
		SwingUtilities.invokeLater( () -> {
			//go.
		} );
	}

	public UserList getUserList() {
		return userList;
	}

	public UserForm getUserForm() {
		return userForm;
	}

	public RolePanel getRolePanel() {
		return rolePanel;
	}

}

After the frame is launched the ApplicationFacade is responsible for initializing a command controller registering several commands to fully initialize the application.

package employeeadmin;

import employeeadmin.controller.AddRoleResultCommand;
import employeeadmin.controller.DeleteUserCommand;
import employeeadmin.controller.StartupCommand;
import org.puremvc.java.multicore.patterns.facade.Facade;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/7/2015
 */
public class ApplicationFacade extends Facade {

	public static final String STARTUP = "startup";
	public static final String NEW_USER = "newUser";
	public static final String DELETE_USER = "deleteUser";
	public static final String CANCEL_SELECTED = "cancelSelected";
	public static final String USER_SELECTED = "userSelected";
	public static final String USER_ADDED = "userAdded";
	public static final String USER_UPDATED = "userUpdated";
	public static final String USER_DELETED = "userDeleted";
	public static final String INIT_USERS = "initUsers";
	public static final String ADD_ROLE = "addRole";
	public static final String ADD_ROLE_RESULT = "addRoleResult";
	private static ApplicationFacade instance;

	public static final String NAME = "ApplicationFacade";

	public static ApplicationFacade getInstance() {
		if( instance == null ) {
			instance = new ApplicationFacade();
		}
		return instance;
	}

	protected ApplicationFacade() {
		super( NAME );
	}

	public void startup( Object app ) {
		sendNotification( STARTUP, app );

	}

	@Override
	protected void initializeController() {
		super.initializeController();
		registerCommand( STARTUP, new StartupCommand() );
		registerCommand( DELETE_USER, new DeleteUserCommand() );
		registerCommand( ADD_ROLE_RESULT, new AddRoleResultCommand() );

	}

}

The first command, StartupCommand, in turn runs two more sub-commands, PrepViewCommand and PrepModelCommand. The other two commands, DeleteUserCommand and AddRoleResultCommand are simply proxy helper classes.

package employeeadmin.controller;

import org.puremvc.java.multicore.patterns.command.MacroCommand;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/2/2015
 */
public class StartupCommand extends MacroCommand {

	@Override
	public final void initializeMacroCommand() {

		addSubCommand( new PrepViewCommand() );
		addSubCommand( new PrepModelCommand() );
	}

}

PrepViewCommand registers the mediators for all the view components.

package employeeadmin.controller;

import employeeadmin.EmployeeAdmin;
import employeeadmin.view.RolePanelMediator;
import employeeadmin.view.UserFormMediator;
import employeeadmin.view.UserListMediator;
import org.puremvc.java.multicore.interfaces.INotification;
import org.puremvc.java.multicore.patterns.command.SimpleCommand;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/5/2015
 */
public class PrepViewCommand extends SimpleCommand {

	@Override
	public final void execute( INotification notification ) {
		EmployeeAdmin employeeAdmin = (EmployeeAdmin) notification.getBody();

		getFacade().registerMediator( new UserListMediator( employeeAdmin.getUserList() ) );
		getFacade().registerMediator( new UserFormMediator( employeeAdmin.getUserForm() ) );
		getFacade().registerMediator( new RolePanelMediator( employeeAdmin.getRolePanel() ) );

	}

}

PrepModelCommand builds the initial domain model, registers the DAO proxy objects and then completes the application startup life-cycle.

package employeeadmin.controller;

import employeeadmin.ApplicationFacade;
import employeeadmin.model.RoleProxy;
import employeeadmin.model.UserProxy;
import employeeadmin.model.enums.Department;
import employeeadmin.model.enums.Role;
import employeeadmin.model.vo.RoleVO;
import employeeadmin.model.vo.UserVO;
import org.puremvc.java.multicore.interfaces.INotification;
import org.puremvc.java.multicore.patterns.command.SimpleCommand;

import java.util.Arrays;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/5/2015
 */
public class PrepModelCommand extends SimpleCommand {

	@Override
	public final void execute( final INotification notification ) {
		UserProxy userProxy = new UserProxy();
		RoleProxy roleProxy = new RoleProxy();

		//@formatter:off
		RoleVO larryRoles = new RoleVO( "lstooge", Arrays.asList( Role.PAYROLL, Role.EMP_BENEFITS ) );
		RoleVO moeRoles = new RoleVO( "mstooge",Arrays.asList( Role.INVENTORY, Role.PRODUCTION, Role.SALES, Role.SHIPPING ) );
		RoleVO curlyRoles = new RoleVO( "cstooge", Arrays.asList( Role.ACCT_PAY, Role.ACCT_RCV, Role.GEN_LEDGER ) );

		userProxy.addUser(new UserVO( "lstooge", "Larry", "Stooge", "larry@stooges.com", "ijk456", Department.ACCT.getValue() ) );
		userProxy.addUser(new UserVO( "mstooge", "Moe", "Stooge", "moe@stooges.com", "abc123", Department.PLANT.getValue() ) );
		userProxy.addUser(new UserVO( "cstooge", "Curly", "Stooge", "curly@stooges.com", "xyz987", Department.SALES.getValue() ) );
		//@formatter:on

		roleProxy.addRole( larryRoles );
		roleProxy.addRole( moeRoles );
		roleProxy.addRole( curlyRoles );

		getFacade().registerProxy( userProxy );
		getFacade().registerProxy( roleProxy );

		getFacade().sendNotification( ApplicationFacade.INIT_USERS, userProxy, "UserProxy" );
		getFacade().removeCommand( ApplicationFacade.STARTUP );
	}

}

The View Layer

This application has three collaborating components. UserList, UserForm and RolePanel. Each component contains all the required sub-components, attributes and operations to both function and manage state independent of external components, communicates to the mediator via a messaging adapter interface and receives message from a mediator directly. I’ll cover more on this topic in the section, The Messaging Adapter.

The Messaging Adapter

As explained, each component contains an instance of it’s adapter interface that allows the component to send messages to it’s mediator. The mediator then broadcasts the message to an arbitrary list of interested observers.

The object diagram below illustrates how the UserList collaborators communicate throughout the application. Note how the UserListMediator acts as a Mediator/Controller and channels messages to the UserList via the UserListMessage adapter interface.

package employeeadmin.view.interfaces;

import employeeadmin.model.vo.UserVO;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/8/15
 */
public interface UserListMessage {

	void onNew();

	void onSelect( UserVO user );

	void onDelete( UserVO user );

}

package employeeadmin.view.interfaces;

import employeeadmin.model.vo.UserVO;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/8/2015
 */
public interface UserFormMessage {

	void onAdd( UserVO user );

	void onUpdate( UserVO user );

	void onCancel();

}

package employeeadmin.view.interfaces;

import employeeadmin.model.enums.Role;
import employeeadmin.model.vo.UserVO;

/**
 * @author Edward Beckett :: <Edward@EdwardBeckett.com>
 * @since :: 6/8/2015
 */
public interface RolePanelMessage {

	void onAdd( UserVO user, Role role );

	void onRemove( UserVO user, Role role );
}

The Mediator Controller

Each mediator acts as a mediating controller, handles registration of it’s view component, registers the application events to be notified of and handles the notification implementation.

The Model Layer

The model layer for this application consists of two enums, two value objects and two proxy objects. The value objects are used in the view components to support a separation of concerns by delegating model layer access to the proxy objects – they create duplicate code but they serve a good purpose. The proxy objects are essentially responsible for all data access.
