Appendix A. Discussion Forum Code

This appendix contains all of the remaining code from the discussion forum example presented in Chapter 7, "Discussion Forum". These are the "simple" files that did not merit a lot of explanation in the text. All of the source code can be downloaded from this book's companion web site at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaxslt.

BoardSummaryImpl.java(1) (shown in Example A-1) provides a default implementation of the BoardSummary interface.

Example A-1. BoardSummaryImpl.java(1)

package com.oreilly.forum.domain;

import com.oreilly.forum.domain.*;
import java.util.*;

/**
 * An implementation of the BoardSummary interface.
 */
public class BoardSummaryImpl implements BoardSummary {
    private long id;
    private String name;
    private String description;
    private List monthsWithMessages;

    /**
     * @param monthsWithMessages a list of MonthYear objects.
     */
    public BoardSummaryImpl(long id, String name, String description,
            List monthsWithMessages) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
        this.monthsWithMessages = monthsWithMessages;

    }

    public long getID( ) {
        return this.id;
    }

    public String getName( ) {
        return this.name;
    }

    public String getDescription( ) {
        return this.description;
    }

    /**
     * @return an iterator of <code>MonthYear</code> objects.
     */
    public Iterator getMonthsWithMessages( ) {
        return this.monthsWithMessages.iterator( );
    }
} 

BoardSummaryImpl.java(2) (shown in Example A-2) is an alternate implementation of the BoardSummary interface. This class is used by the fake data implementation, which is useful for testing purposes when a database is not available.

DataException.java (shown in Example A-3) is a generic exception that occurs when something goes wrong with the underlying database. This prevents database-specific code from creeping into the application, making it possible to migrate to other data sources in the future.

Example A-3. DataException.java

package com.oreilly.forum.adapter;

/**
 * An exception that indicates some operation with the back-end
 * data source failed.
 */
public class DataException extends Exception {
    private Throwable rootCause;

    /**
     * Wrap a DataException around another throwable.
     */
    public DataException(Throwable rootCause) {
        super(rootCause.getMessage( ));
        this.rootCause = rootCause;
    }

    /**
     * Construct an exception with the specified detail message.
     */
    public DataException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }

    /**
     * @return a reference to the root exception or null.
     */
    public Throwable getRootCause( ) {
        return this.rootCause;
    }
} 

DataUtil.java (shown in Example A-4) is a simple utility method that deals with dates.

Example A-4. DateUtil.java

package com.oreilly.forum.domain;

import java.util.*;

/**
 * Misc utility functions for dates. Methods are synchronized because
 * the same Calendar instance is shared.
 */
public final class DateUtil {

    private static Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance( );

    /**
     * @return the day of the month for a given date.
     */
    public synchronized static int getDayOfMonth(Date date) {
        cal.setTime(date);
        return cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    }

    /**
     * @return the month number for a given date.
     */
    public synchronized static int getMonth(Date date) {
        cal.setTime(date);
        return cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    }

    /**
     * @return the year number for the given date.
     */
    public synchronized static int getYear(Date date) {
        cal.setTime(date);
        return cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    }

    private DateUtil( ) {
    }
}

DayMonthYear.java (shown in Example A-5) is a helper class that groups a day, month, and year together. It also supports comparisons for sorting purposes.

Example A-5. DayMonthYear.java

package com.oreilly.forum.domain;

import java.util.Date;

/**
 * Represents a day, month, and year.
 */
public class DayMonthYear extends MonthYear {
    private int day;

    public DayMonthYear( ) {
        this(new Date( ));
    }

    public DayMonthYear(Date date) {
        super(date);
        this.day = DateUtil.getDayOfMonth(date);
    }

    public DayMonthYear(int day, int month, int year) {
        super(month, year);
        this.day = day;
    }

    public int getDay( ) {
        return this.day;
    }

    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (obj instanceof DayMonthYear) {
            DayMonthYear rhs = (DayMonthYear) obj;
            return super.equals(obj) && this.day == rhs.day;
        }
        return false;
    }

    public int hashCode( ) {
        return super.hashCode( ) ^ this.day;
    }

    public int compareTo(Object obj) {
        DayMonthYear rhs = (DayMonthYear) obj;
        int comparison = super.compareTo(obj);
        if (comparison == 0) {
            if (this.day < rhs.day) {
                return -1;
            } else if (this.day > rhs.day) {
                return 1;
            }
        }
        return comparison;
    }

    public String toString( ) {
        return getMonth() + "/" + getDay() + "/" + getYear( );
    }
}

FakeDataAdapter.java (shown in Example A-6) allows the discussion forum to be executed without any database. This class was written before the database was implemented, and is useful for testing purposes only.

Example A-6. FakeDataAdapter.java

package com.oreilly.forum.fakeimpl;

import com.oreilly.forum.*;
import com.oreilly.forum.adapter.*;
import com.oreilly.forum.domain.*;
import java.util.*;

public class FakeDataAdapter extends DataAdapter {
    // a list of BoardSummary objects
    private List allBoards;
    private static long nextMessageID = 0;
    private Map messageMap = new HashMap( );

    public FakeDataAdapter( ) throws DataException {
        this.allBoards = new ArrayList( );

        BoardSummary bs0 = new BoardSummaryImpl(0L,
                "Java Programming",
                "General programming questions about Java.");
        BoardSummary bs1 = new BoardSummaryImpl(1L,
                "XSLT Stylesheet Techniques",
                "Writing effective XSLT stylesheets.");
        this.allBoards.add(bs0);
        this.allBoards.add(bs1);

        this.postNewMessage(0L, "First subject in Java Prog",
                "burke_e@yahoo.com", "Sample message text");

    }

    /**
     * @param msgID must be a valid message identifier.
     * @return the message with the specified id.
     * @throws DataException if msgID does not exist or a database
     * error occurs.
     */
    public Message getMessage(long msgID) throws DataException {
        Message msg = (Message) this.messageMap.get(new Long(msgID));
        if (msg != null) {
            return msg;
        }
        throw new DataException("Invalid msgID");
    }

    /**

     * an empty iterator.
     * @return an iterator of <code>MessageSummary</code> objects.
     * @throws DataException if the boardID is illegal or a database
     * error occurs.
     */
    public Iterator getAllMessages(long boardID, MonthYear month)
            throws DataException {
        // this is slow, but works fine for a fake implementation
        List msgs = new ArrayList( );

                msgs.add(curMsg);
            }
        }
        return msgs.iterator( );
    }

    /**
     * Add a reply to an existing message.
     *

     * parameter is illegal.
     */
    public Message replyToMessage(long origMsgID, String msgSubject,

                msgSubject, authorEmail, msgText, -1);
        this.messageMap.put(new Long(msg.getID( )), msg);

        ((BoardSummaryImpl) boardSum).messageAdded(msg);

        return msg;

    }

    private synchronized static long getNextMessageID( ) {
        nextMessageID++;
        return nextMessageID;

} 

MessageImpl.java (shown in Example A-7) is an implementation of the Message interface.

Example A-7. MessageImpl.java

package com.oreilly.forum.domain;

import java.util.*;

/**
 * An implementation of the Message interface.
 */
public class MessageImpl extends MessageSummaryImpl implements Message {
    private String text;

    /**
     * Construct a new instance of this class.
     */

            BoardSummary board, String subject, String authorEmail,
            String text, long inReplyTo) {
        super(id, createDate, board, subject, authorEmail, inReplyTo);
        this.text = text;

    /**
     * @return the text of this message.
     */
    public String getText( ) {
        return this.text;
    }
} 

MessageSummaryImpl.java (shown in Example A-8) is an implementation of the MessageSummary interface.

Example A-8. MessageSummaryImpl.java

MonthYear.java (shown in Example A-9) groups a month and year together. It also supports sorting.

Example A-9. MonthYear.java
