Java naming convention

Getters and setters

  • Getters (get, is)
    • Takes no parameters
    • Does not alter the object in any way; it is constant
    • Can be called multiple times, and in any order
    • Returns a consistent single result
  • Setters (set)
    • Takes one parameter
    • May or may not alter the object
    • Only affects the object that has the setter; it does not persist anywhere else
    • Can be called multiple times, and in any order

Finders & filters

  • Finders (find)
    • Takes zero or more arguments (which act as filter or sorting controls)
    • Does not alter the object in any way; it is constant
    • Can be called multiple times, and in any order
    • Returns a consistent, single, non-null collection result

Factories

  • Factories
    • Responsible for creating objects - not persisting them!
  • Factory classes
    • Conform to [ObjectType]Factory naming convention
  • Factory methods
    • Conform to create[ObjectType] naming convention

Other

  • Populator methods (imbue)
    • Only modify the object(s) passed as arguments

Persistance

  • Repositories
    • Conform to [ObjectType]Repository naming convention
    • Methods such as save*, load*, find*, read*, write*, delete*
