Digilasku osa 3


Digilaskussa on jo nyt yli kaksikymmentä erilaista lomaketta. Syötekenttiä on noin 200. Yksi digilaskun onnistuneimpia osioita on näiden hallinta: syötekenttien validointi on pysynyt kohtuullisen hyvin kasassa.

Jokainen lomake on omassa luokassaan, joka perii Vaatimen Form-luokan. Laskujen, lähetteiden ja tarjousten formit perivät vielä tätä ennen abstraktin luokan, joka määrittelee näille yhteiset ominaisuudet. Lähes kaikki formit käyttävät suoraan Vaatimen datamallia, eli Java Beanit tai POJOT asetetaan suoraan formeihin. Datan tallennus onnistuu siis helposti ilman manuaalisia parsimisia, sillä formista tulee suoraan ulos ehjä objekti tietokantaan tallennettavaksi.

Formin syötekentissä käytetään useita erilaisia validaattoreita, jotka ovat myös omissa luokissaan. Syötekenttiä on yleistetty aina kun mahdollista, jotta vältytään perusvalidointien turhalta toistolta syötekentän luomisessa. Vaatimen vahvuuksia on ehdottomasti monipuolinen syötekenttien validointi.

Päädyimme toteuttamaan paljon applikaation logiikkaa tallennusnappuloihin. Suurimmaksi osin tämä toimii aika hyvin, vaikka paikoitellen rikomme räikeästi olio-ohjelmoinnin perussääntöjä, mutta toisaalta, nyt bugien lähteet on suhteellisen helppo selvittää. Elegantimpi tapa olisi tehdä itse lomakkeista funktionaalisempia, jolloin data ja sitä käsittelevät metodit olisivat samassa paikassa.
private Button getSaveButton() {
  Button save = new Button("Tallenna");
  save.addListener(new Button.ClickListener() {

   public void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {
    PersistenceManager pm = PMF.get().getPersistenceManager();
    try {
     adminForm.commit();
     userForm.commit();
     user.setAccountId(ac.getAccountid());
     user.setUserType(DigilaskuApplication.USERTYPE_ADMIN);
     pm.makePersistent(ac);
     pm.makePersistent(user);
     NotificationFactory.showSaveMessage();
    } catch (Exception e) {

    } finally {
     pm.close();
    }

   }
  });
  return save;
 }

I'm not a passionate developer

A family friend of mine is an airlane pilot. A dream job for most, right? As a child, I certainly thought so. Now that I can have grown-up talks with him, I have discovered a more accurate description of his profession. He says that the truth about the job is that it is boring. To me, that is not that surprising. Airplanes are cool and all, but when you are in the middle of the Atlantic sitting next to the colleague you have been talking to past five years, how stimulating can that be? When he says the job is boring, it is not a bad kind of boring. It is a very specific boring. The "boring" you would want as a passenger. Uneventful.  Yet, he loves his job. According to him, an experienced pilot is most pleased when each and every tiny thing in the flight plan - goes according to plan. Passengers in the cabin of an expert pilot sit in the comfort of not even noticing who is flying. As someone employed in a field where being boring is not exactly in high demand, this sounds pro...

Bird is causing high CPU on my macOS

There is no lack of people complaining about MacOS Tahoe, mostly about rounded corners and inconsistent design decisions. I have not paid that much attentention to that, but there is one mac bug i have paid attention to. It hasn't been a visual or ux but rather few system processes pegging the CPU. trustd , alongside with ecosystemd and ecosystemanalyticsd all reported high CPU usage. I can't exactly recall when this started, it might have predated my Tahoe upgrade but anyway, the trio of processes all had high CPU usage. Sure, it may have been the virtual efficiency cores and whether it affeced battery life or slowed down other processes i don't know to be hon...

Ousterhout's law

Back in the day, everyone was using Winamp. It is a music player with the user interface of a mixing console. The bloody thing had an equalizer on the front page! As an amateur music producer, I know that EQ is a powerful tool but making changes that sound good is difficult, to say the least. Mixing engineers spend considerable effort with the artist to balance the frequency ranges to arrive at the desired musical outcome. I bet the 15-year-old me butchered a lot of songs with the thing. Now we are using Spotify, a player with basically a search bar and a play button. I ran into something called Ousterhout's Law on the  Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces book . Here is a quote from the book TIP: AVOID VOO-DOO CONSTANTS (OUSTERHOUT’S LAW) Avoiding voo-doo constants is a good idea whenever possible. Unfortunately, as in the example above, it is often difficult. One could try to make the system learn a good value, but that too is not straightforward. The frequent result: a configura...
