Mobile Strategy - Key Objectives

Notes

DDD and package name improvements

Problems:

  • lots of packages in a flat style in a service

  • things are grouped together more by type, rather than by logical nature (e.g. exceptions are grouped together, not grouped alongside where they're defined)

 

Feedback:

  • Overall:  makes sense to align around a typical 3 layer arch:  presentation, domain, repository:  https://martinfowler.com/bliki/PresentationDomainDataLayering.html

    • In infrastructure layer, it really just looks like a repository layer.

    • A seperation of "web" and application service makes sense to me

  • Use of package private scope of Java  - we could use a more concrete plan to see if we're taking advantage of this

  • Should database repositories and repositories that are backed by a different service use the same interface? Consider potential differences in error handling.

  • Is the repository name overused when used for both database backed and service backed? 

 

Next steps:

  • Make the example more concrete - present a basic diagram, perhaps look at example service.

Mobile Strategy

Goal:  list out the tech considerations for UI Mobile onto this wiki page https://martinfowler.com/bliki/PresentationDomainDataLayering.html

 

Feedback:

  • diagram needs to make it clear what a system integration would be (to ODK2 or OpenSRP) as opposed to a direct mobile app interfacing directly with OpenLMIS REST API over HTTP with JSON.

  • what does 100+ mean? Should we define workflows based on the volume of data?

  • Should we explicitly call out "shipping a mobile library" rather shipping an OpenLMIS app as a possible strategy?

 

Action Items

@Paweł Albecki (Deactivated):  take the feedback from the DDD and package name improvements and show through a diagram and/or use of the example service what it'd look like given that feedback
@Josh Zamor (Deactivated):  re-write the key requirements section to address the workflow to non-functional requirements (the what does 100+ products mean)?
To the group:   bring up what you'd like to see as part of the technical mobile strategy in the dev forum (Product Committee may look at some of this feedback)
