When pj-web
, pj-batch
are specified respectively in artifactId
,
which is input during the project creation using nablarch-web-archetype and nablarch-batch-archetype archetypes, the configuration is as follows.
| Maven project name | Packaging | Application |
|---|---|---|
| pj-web | war | Develop an application that uses the web application runtime platform. Finally, create in the unit to be deployed on the application server as war file. |
| pj-batch | jar | Develop an application that uses the Nablarch batch application runtime platform. |

- About src/main/jib
Directories and files placed in
src/main/jib
will be placed on the container. For example, if place thesrc/main/jib/var/foo.txt
file before building the container image, it enters the/var/foo.txt
in the container. See Jib’s documentation (external site) for more information.In the blank project, a number of Tomcat configuration files have been placed in order to make all of Tomcat’s log output standard output.
<IP_ADDRESS>.2. Tool configuration¶
Omitted as it is identical to the web.
<IP_ADDRESS>. pj-container-jaxrs project¶
Project to build a Tomcat-based Docker image where the RESTful web services application is deployed.
<IP_ADDRESS>.1. Project structure¶
Omitted as it is identical to the container edition Web.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Common configurations for each project¶
The following is configured respectively in each Maven project.
- Defining profiles
- Adding goals to be executed during the build phase
- Configuration for compile. The following configurations are present.
- Java version used
- File encoding
- JDBC driver
- Configuration of the tools described in Tools included in projects generated from archetypes. The following configurations are present.
- Database connection configuration used in gsp-dba-maven-plugin(external site) (JDBC connection URL and database schema, etc.)
- Coverage configuration
Details of each are shown below.
<IP_ADDRESS>.1. Profile list¶
Refer to pom.xml
of each project for details on the profile that are defined.
The defined profiles are shown below.
| Profile name | Summary |
|---|---|
| dev | Profile for development environment and unit test execution. Use resources in src/env/dev/resources directory. |
| prod | Profile for the production environment. Use resources in the src/env/prod/resources directory. |
Tip
The activeByDefault element is described in dev profile of pom.xml
and the dev profile can be used as default.
Note
In a project for containers, the differences between environments switch using OS environment variables instead of profiles. Therefore, the project for containers has no profile defined. See Production configuration of containers for more information.
<IP_ADDRESS>.1.1. How to use profiles¶
These profiles are used to create deliverables according to the environment.
For example, to create a war file for the production environment, specify the production environment profile
under the pj-web
module and then execute the mvn command by specifying the production environment profile.
An example of the command is shown below.
mvn package -P prod -DskipTests=true
Tip
In the above command, the unit test is skipped.
By default, the unit test is also performed when the “mvn package” is executed, but the unit test fails to run in the production profile.
<IP_ADDRESS>.2. List of goals added to the build phase¶
In addition to the default build phase definition of Maven, it is configured to execute the following goals
For details on the configuration, see pom.xml
of each project and pom.xml
of nablarch-archetype-parent (parent project).
| Build phase | Goal | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| initialize | jacoco:prepare-agent | Prepare a JaCoCo runtime agent. |
| pre-integration-test | jacoco:prepare-agent-integration | Prepare a JaCoCo runtime agent for the integration test. |
Tip
Since the execution of gsp-dba-maven-plugin is not tied together with the Maven build phase, goals implemented under gsp-dba-maven-plugin, such as automatic generation of entities, should be executed manually.
<IP_ADDRESS>.3. Configuration for compile¶
For details on the configuration, see pom.xml
of each project and pom.xml
of nablarch-archetype-parent (parent project).
<IP_ADDRESS>.4. Tool configuration¶
Tool configuration is described in pom.xml
(each project and nablarch-archetype-parent (parent project)).
Refer to Tools included in projects generated from archetypes for the tools described in the parent project.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Build configuration¶
For the following cases, change pom.xml of each module.
- Add or change the dependent library used in each module. For example, modify the version of nablarch-bom to change the version of Nablarch being used.
- Add or change the Maven plugin used in each module.
<IP_ADDRESS>.1. Example of changing the version of Nablarch used¶
A configuration example when Nablarch 5u6 is used is shown below.
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.nablarch.profile</groupId>
<artifactId>nablarch-bom</artifactId>
<!--
Specify the version corresponding to the version of Nablarch to be used.
In this example 5u6 is specified.
-->
<version>5u6</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
…
</dependencyManagement>
<IP_ADDRESS>.2. Example of adding dependent library¶
An example of adding dependency to the nablarch-common-encryption for using the encryption utility in the pj-web
module is shown below.
While adding dependency, scope should be configured appropriately. If the scope is not configured, there is a possibility of the module that should be used only in the unit tests might get used in the production.
<dependencies>
…
<dependency>
<groupId>com.nablarch.framework</groupId>
<artifactId>nablarch-common-encryption</artifactId>
</dependency>
…
</dependencies>
For Nablarch libraries, usually the version number need not be specified in pom.xml (since the version specified for nablarch-bom determines the version of each library)
8.5.3. [Reference] Policy for splitting the projects¶
<IP_ADDRESS>. Policy for recommended project configuration¶
The following are the policy of the recommended project configuration.
- If only one application is to be created (web only, batch only, etc.), then configure a single project respectively.
- If two web applications are to be created for internal and external use, create separate Maven projects instead of consolidating them into a single Maven project.
- If there are multiple applications and a library is to be shared, create a Maven project to deploy the shared library.
- While adding a runtime platform, create a Maven project for each execution control platform. For example, to add an application that uses the messaging execution control platform, create a new Maven project.
- Do not split the project more than necessary. For details, see Problems when a project is divided excessively.
Tip
Be careful not to duplicate resources when you split up a project.
For example, if you mix the edm files used by gsp-dba-maven-plugin(external site) in multiple Maven projects, you will end up with duplicate entity classes in multiple Maven projects.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Problems when a project is divided excessively¶
Problems caused when a project is divided excessively is shown below.
- Build and deployment procedure becomes complicated.
- After the integration test, the management of modules that were combined and tested becomes complicated.
In general, smaller the number of Maven projects, smoother is the development.

McGregor returns to the octogon against the 'Cowboy'
Cape Town - Conor McGregor will return to the UFC octagon for the first time in over a year when he faces Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone in Las Vegas on January 18, 2020.
According to the BBC website, the 31-year-old Irishman has not competed since losing to Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018.
Earlier this month McGregor was convicted of assault following an altercation in a Dublin pub in April, and fined 1 000 .
His return will be part of UFC 246 and UFC president Dana White confirmed: "Conor has signed and Cowboy is ready to go."
McGregor has a 21-4 record in UFC and in 2016 became the first fighter to hold belts in two weight categories at the same time.
American Cerrone, 36, lost his last fight in the first round to Justin Gaethje in September.

Life is all about perspective. Things can get tough, but if you keep your wits about you and keep trying, things will eventually work out.
So do I live up to my values? Meh, I try, but I also know there's a lot of room for improvement. So I'm going to go ahead and rate myself a three.


I've become increasingly picky about little details with code. For instance, I really dislike code that doesn't use whitespace properly. By that, I mean that there's always whitespace around assignment (like x = 10, not x=10); but never when defining keyword arguments. That there's never whitespace inside parenthesis or list and dictionary literals (i.e., no def func( a, b ):). That there's always one space after commas.
These don't effect the quality of the code, but it's a kind of smell. I think of programming as a kind of craft, and a good craftsman pays attention to the details, even if they aren't the real goal.  If you are firing a pot, and you see the potter didn't clean up their foot, you wonder if they also have bubbles in their clay. And so on.
I also have become wary of clever tricks. I cringe everytime I see bool and true_value or false_value to simulate bool ? true_value : false_value, because I know the programmer was lazy. Or nested list comprehension. Or combinations thereof. Just write the damn loop out, and save us all some effort when we're reading.
For the most part, I follow PEP 8, and if there's a clever or a simple but perhaps long-winded way of doing something, I try to always choose the long-winded way. This is my suggestion that others do the same.
I tend to be picky about code formatting too, but I sometimes wonder where one's aesthetics came from originally. For example, I have a friend who's otherwise perfectly sane, and wants to follow style guides, but insists of writing conditionals like this: if(condition). Icky.
Regarding writing complicated list comprehensions as regular loops; I think this quote from Tim Peters is relevant:
Here's another technique that is faster and more obvious but that is often avoided by those who mistakenly believe that writing two lines of code where one might do is somehow sinful.
I couldn't agree more now, but I didn't always. I've written a post on how I switched from disliking white space to disliking code without it (http://www.sunsetandlabrea.com/index.py/development/53.html).
Yes, if(condition) is horrible, I don't think I ever did that. Makes it look more like a function call.
Most of these things are oldskul whitespace rules from written language.
Sometimes of course one might want to compress code a bit, compare:
for(i=0;i<32;i++)
for(i=0; i<32; i++)
for (i = 0; i < 32; i++)
(I would prefer second, first, third)
a=4;b=5;
a=4; b=5;
a = 4; b = 5;
a = 4;
b = 5;
(I would prefer second, fourth , first, third)
Also some things make nice oneliners in Python:
class AbstracOne: pass
def reverse(a, b): return -cmp(a,b)
When there are long table definitions I prefer
[1,3,4,2,5,6,44,2,5,6,4] to
[1, 3, 4, 2, 5, 6, 44, 2, 5, 6, 4]
but it can make sense to arrange code like this:
[
1, 3, 4, 2,
5, 6, 44, 2,
5, 6, 4, 19
]
Beeing picky about code is not the same as ignoring that others who don't share your style have conventions too and also take pride in proper craftsmanship.
Anyway, this kind of "I'm right and therfore I ownz" seems to be a particulary programmer related kind of phenomenon. It has however been prooven decades ago in Newsgroups ( the thing people used before there where blogs and comments ) that any and all such discussions are completely fruitless beyond the most common sense shared by most.# Florian
There is a clear distinction between "tricky" and compact. Compact code can be easier to read/browse because there is less to analyze.
Compare a list comprehension with an equivalent loop. You can do all kinds of strange stuff in a loop, including adding the current item to either end of the loop, break out of the loop (making a shorter resulting list), etc. With a list comprehension, you know what is being done.
I think Python desperately needs a terneray operator like C. Then it will be obvious what the programmer is trying to do and you can mentally "skip over" it unless you are analyzing the details of that line.
I'm picky about whitespace around, or nor around the equals sign. However, I like simple list comprehensions over for loops for some reason. De gustabus!
Being picky about code formatting is a good thing.  The only reasonable criterion (IMHO) for whether a given set of conventions is better or worse than another is how much it helps (or hurts) you convey the meaning of your code to the someone who's reading it, who may be you yourself, a member of your team, or anyone else. As such, it's entirely a cultural issue, and (again, IMHO) consistency within any programming group is more important than what style conventions you adopt. To say someone's code 'smells' because your own favorite style conventions aren't being followed carries it's own stink.# TomP
I have to differ on the whitespace inside parentheses. I always add it when it helps separate the arguments within from the outer function. The best example is calling a function that accepts a tuple as its parameter. I think that
function((x, y))
is more confusing than:
function( (x, y) )
which IMO is unmistakably a tuple being passed.
Picky, eh?
It's "affect", not "effect", in the second paragraph.
;-)
No,
You do not know if a programmer was lazy, you may know you did that because you only do that when you are lazy?
You do not know why a programmer programs, it may be love, it may be money, it may be a need in helping something else.
You do not know if a programmer works for himself or if he is trying to be nice with the next one that picks up on the programming.
I don't know anything and I have never had time to be getting god at understanding psychology, sociology and otherwise the human nature, but one thing I do know, that if you have any reason to believe that you could be wrong than you shut up.
I'm already sorry I wrote this because I know I could be wrong.
By the way there are many times I prefer bool and true_value or false_value.
Programming alone is art and programming in a team is engineering.
I believe (I never know) no artist ever care about the rest when he creates unless the work is somewhat about the rest.
I hope (I never know) every engineer must care about the rest.
Picking up on an artist's work is called criticism.
Picking up on an engineer’s work is called along with other stuff maintenance.
Let's stop talking, let's stop comparing and divagating and let's start doing what we must or love or need to do ant let's not try to be heroes who wish to make a better world yet we have no tools nor we are seeking for the tools.
From Socrates to Heidegger to Wittgenstein to Chomsky we know nothing, yet for some reason we all must talk.
I'm sorry for may "bad?" English
and if you could not understand me
or if you could:
I assert it is so much my problem as is also your.
Maybe it's my Perl background showing through, but I like tricks that make code succinct, but not too succinct. The and/or trick doesn't strike me as lazy, it strikes me as a way to collapse a screenful of simple if statements into a few lines. That seems easier to read for me, and more to the point.
But on the other hand, and this is *definitely* from my Perl background, nested list comprehensions tempt me. :) But I suppose I could go back to lisp if I wanted lots of madly nested insanity.
I don't think the correlation between good software and adherence to a style guide is as strong as you suggest. In fact, I think an bit of defiance is a healthy reality check. I know several developers who produce excellent code, yet insist that commas belong at the beginning of the next line rather than the end of the first line, like so:
[ 'abc'
, 'def'
, 'ghi']
Whether I like that or not, who am I to quibble with it?
I believe that if "affect" and "effect" are used as transitive verbs they're interchangeable.
Well, I was joking, but since you mentioned it:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=affect
Usage Note: Affect and effect have no senses in common. As a verb affect is most commonly used in the sense of “to influence” (how smoking affects health). Effect means “to bring about or execute”: layoffs designed to effect savings. Thus the sentence These measures may affect savings could imply that the measures may reduce savings that have already been realized, whereas These measures may effect savings implies that the measures will cause new savings to come about.
It makes me laugh when a Perl programmer badmouths Lisp:
"But I suppose I could go back to lisp if I wanted lots of madly nested insanity."
Learn Lisp before trying to badmouth it. Lisp programmers use the "loop" macro, which is much more powerful and succinct than Python list comprehension, much easier to read and maintain than Perl code, and doesn't require excessive parenthesis.
Lots of parenthesis don't make code hard to read or maintain: just the opposite. Good Lisp programmers use lots of white space and indentation to make the meaning of their programs quite clear.
Since Lisp syntax is so regular, it's easy for text editors to intelligently edit Lisp code, auto indent, balance parens, move over logical units of code, etc.
What makes code hard to maintain is lots of context sensative jibber jabber punctuation like Perl uses, that text editors and humans have an extremely hard time parsing and understanding.
It amazes me that Perl programmers complain about Lisp's parenthesis, then they go write programs that look like line noise, on purpose. Some actually savor Perl syntax, thinking it makes them more manly.
I don't think that it's a question of taste or style or manlyness. Programs that look like random line noise are much harder to write and maintain than programs with a regular syntax that you can validate and maintain without actually executing the program in a debugger and looking up syntax quirks, precedence rules contextual nuances in a huge manual.
With regard to list comprehensions versus writing out loops: It's not wise to take false shortcuts that you'll have to end up backtracking later and rewriting your code. Because list comprehensions have limited functionality compared to Python loops (or Lisp loop macros), sometimes you have to rewrite them later as normal loops if you need to add features the syntax does not support, or that it does support but would strain the syntax. If you write it out as a loop in the first place, it's much easier to maintain later, because you don't have to decode and recode it into a longhand loop when it needs to grow later.
For the same reasons, I take the same approach to putting statements on separate lines so they're easy to edit and maintain later. When I'm programming in C-like language, I always use braces, even if there's only one statement, because later on I might want to add another statement, an assert, or a debugging printf. It's just good engineering practice. You wouldn't want a bridge builder to leave out bolts because it made the bridge lighter and let him take his lunch break earlier.
Taking short-sighted shortcuts to reduce the number of characters you have to type and lines of code in your program, like leaving out braces in C programs or overusing list comprehensions, is only a shortcut to writing code riddled with bugs that's hard to maintain.

I hate to be a devil advocate :p But, here is a Python example where taking away some white space may make things easier:
>>> 3*2**3 + 4*(5**2-2**2) # grouped spaces
108
>>> A=3*2**3
>>> A
24
>>> B=4*(5**2-2**2)
>>> B
84
>>> A+B
108
My point here is that one needs to clearly see the left and right side. Otherwise, what really is meant may be obscure or lost in the details:
>>> 3*2**3+4*(5**2-2**2) # no space
108
>>> 3 * 2 ** 3 + 4 * ( 5 ** 2 - 2 ** 2 ) # lots o space
108
Of course, the cause and effect will affect the outcome. Then again, maybe being even more verbose may help some also:
>>> ( 3 * 2 ** 3 ) + ( 4 * ( 5 ** 2 - 2 ** 2 ) )
So, I agree, for the most part.

If you missed the roll call, you can view it here.
Today begins with some continued speculation on what is happening with the questionable changes to USPS:
"What he did was take three big steps forward and took one baby step back, and that just doesn't do it for us," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi commented on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's annoucement to suspend changes to USPS until after the election. What are those changes? We are still waiting to hear. Will changes already implemented be rolled back (e.g. removal of sorting machines)? Again, that too is unknown.
While changes to USPS may be in a suspended state, the USPS is still facing a suspected $25 billion USD dollar shortage.

- Seriously, this Maine B&B - Annabessacook Farm -, owned by DNC Convention Delegate Craig Hickman and his husband, brings me such joy. Who wants to book a 2021 trip?
- Also, AOC is amazing. Her endorsement of Sen Sanders was in fact in line with DNC Convention procedures:
If you were confused, no worries!
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 19, 2020
Convention rules require roll call & nominations for every candidate that passes the delegate threshold.
I was asked to 2nd the nom for Sen. Sanders for roll call.
I extend my deepest congratulations to @JoeBiden - let’s go win in November. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/uI92P3UfLn
So let's celebrate that and remember AOC's amazing dance moves, which are only scandalous in that they are scandalously FUNNNNN:

AFTERGLOW (1997) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Writer/Director: Alan Rudolph Starring: Julie Christie, Nick Nolte, Lara Flynn Boyle, Jonny Lee Miller, Jay Underwood, Domini Blythe, Yves Corbeil, Alan Fawcett
Watching "Afterglow" is like watching a soap opera, only with depth and some real emotional stimulation. The entire time, you know what's going to happen to these characters, but you can never tell what you're going to feel like when it's about to hit you. And when it does, you're not even sure what to feel like afterwards.
The structure of "Afterglow" is something like a Robert Altman film (he's the producer of this, by chance), following a group of characters around as they run into eachother by chance, then examining them as a group or groups, and as individuals. We first meet Jeffrey Bryon (Jonny Lee Miller), a high-level business man living in Montreal, but has lost all passion for his life, most notably in his job and his marriage to his wife, Marianne (Lara Flynn Boyle), a lonely but occasionally ecstatic woman who yearns for a baby, but will find not such help with it from Jeffrey.
We also meet another couple: Lucky and Phyllis Mann (Nick Nolte and Julie Christie, respectively), a much older couple, probably old enough to be Jeffrey and Marianne's parents. Lucky runs a fix-it man business, and also is a bit of a Cassanova on the side, sleeping with several of his female customers merely because he enjoys pleasing them and also helping his wounded libido, since Phyllis refuses to sleep with him. Meanwhile, Phyllis lies around all day watching her old movies, and thinking about life and death, as one of her fellow actors has recently died.
Wouldn't you know it: Lucky gets a call from Marianne to help build a nursery for her yet un-conceived baby, and the two hit it off. Lucky not only helps her do this, but also gives some emotional support for her, and eventually begins sleeping with her. As their relationship becomes more and more serious, Phyllis discovers them, and while spying on them at a bar, she runs into Jeffrey, who's spying on Marianne. The more they talk, the more they become interested in eachother, and without even knowing who the other is, they begin a relationship that is in direct opposition of Lucky and Marianne.
This film has been getting some reception most notably because of the performance by Julie Christie, who is a lot like her character. Christie was a big star in the 60s and 70s, appearing in such cinema classics as "Darling," "Doctor Zhivago," and "Shampoo," but then disappearing from cinema and the public's eye for a long time, claiming to be happy in her loneliness. Of course, last year she played Queen Gertrude in Branagh's "Hamlet," and has now found her career to be blooming once more. In fact, Christie received a very well-deserved Oscar nomination for the role in question.
What she brings to the screen is a persona that is sad and mysterious, which is what she does best anyway. Phyllis is portrayed as a woman who keeps most of her emotions bottled up behind a false facade, and who talks with a distanced and somewhat pretentious overtone. When she finally does break down at the end, it's almost as powerful as Ian Holm's breakdown in "The Sweet Hereafter" (another great performance). But in the meantime, watching Christie navigate through her role is a pleasure that brings a smile to anyone's face, and seeing her once again marvel an audience is pretty astounding.
But she's not the chief reason to see this, as the media has been claiming. "Afterglow" is a film which is very multi-textured: it's a black comedy, a drama, a character study, an exercise in how to be Altman-esque, and a beautifully cynical film dealing with couples who aren't right for one another. The title of the film is cynically ironic, as it is the focus of the film that the afterglow of these two marriages is anything but sweet. The two couples in this film are hanging on by a thread that should be cut, but unfortuantely they're trying to help themselves through relationships instead of working at it like they should be doing. Sure, it may seem like a soap opera, but it sure has some intelligent depth.
The film can also be looked at as a tale of a couple being told by examining two paralell couples at different stages (this isn't a totally thought-out theory, so just follow me on this one). The Jeffrey/Marianne couple may in fact be the younger version of the Lucky/Phyllis couple, as we know very little about their younger life. And instances happen that directly parallel that of the other couple, and the ending of the Jeffrey/Marianne couple seems like it may be headed for the ending of the Lucky/Phyllis couple. "Afterglow" unfolds in a way that the details of the film are given to you as the film goes on, so we can piece the film together afterwards.
Julie Christie may be the stand-out performance for an Oscar Nomination (or an Oscar), but she's not the only one who gives a great performance. The four leads all give phenomenol performances. Nick Nolte, who does big budget films to finance his more subtlely budgeted films (like this), presents a man who is not really a sex machine, but a man who is up for trying to please everyone as well as himself. He's not an asswhole; he's a very lovable man, and Nolte's performance is more human than anything else. Lara Flynn Boyle gives us a performance which is full of energy, even while her character is also suffering some truly deep emotional pain. And Jonny Lee Miller (Sick Boy from "Trainspotting") not only deftly controls a Canadian accent (I loved his "aboot"), but presents a man who seems like an asswhole on the surface, but is really incredibly disenchanted with his life. Watching him fawn over Julie Christie is another great thing about this movie.
A side not to anyone who grew up in the 80s: look for 80s semi-semi-icon Jay Underwood in a supporting role. Remember him from the kinda classics "The Boy Who Could Fly" and the Disney movies of "Not Quite Human?" God, it's a weird feeling to see him in a movie again, eh?
The ending of "Afterglow" (or the afterglow of "Afterglow") is just like the rest of the film: slightly confusing as to how the audience should feel about it. We know we should feel happy or sad for each of the couples, but instead we're searching for feelings. One of the most remarkable and pleasing things about this film is seeing Julie Christie once again wow us with an amazing performance. My god, it's been awhile since we've felt that way, hasn't it?

Reference App Structure
Note: Spartacus 3.x is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Note: Spartacus 3.x was tested with SAP Commerce Cloud versions 1905 to 2105. Spartacus 3.x has not been verified to work with (and is not guaranteed to work with) SAP Commerce Cloud 2211 or later releases.
Note: The reference app structure is introduced with version 3.1 of the Spartacus libraries.
This recommended Spartacus app structure is intended to act as a reference for when you are setting up your own Spartacus application.
Spartacus is an Angular library, which means it can be used on its own in an Angular application, or it can be integrated into an existing Angular project. Conversely, you can add any other Angular solution or library to your Spartacus project.
Spartacus itself comes with several layers and concepts, as well as a number of smaller feature libraries that can be lazy loaded out of the box. Customizations and third-party code add further complexity, and you can end up with modules that are difficult to maintain because they mix too many of these elements together.
This can be solved by defining and adhering to a standardized structure, such as the Spartacus reference app structure. Having a standardized structure also makes it easier to onboard new developers to your project, to handle external support cases, and to take care of audits.
By using the Spartacus reference app structure, you benefit the most from the automatic migrations that are available with each major Spartacus release, while also maintaining the flexibility to add customizations, and to build new features on top of those customizations. Using the reference app structure also makes it possible to take advantage of code splitting for features that are moved into separate libraries after the 3.0 release.
Note: In Spartacus 3.2, the reference structure described in the following sections is supported by schematics as the default structure. If you are using release 3.1, you can migrate to the reference structure, but you will have to do it manually.
To see a working example that makes use of the reference app structure, see this repository.
Table of Contents
Structure Overview
The following is an example of the reference app structure:
AppModule
(placed in the main app folder)- application modules
SpartacusModule
(placed in theapp/spartacus
folder)BaseStorefrontModule
(imported from@spartacus/storefront
)SpartacusFeaturesModule
(placed in theapp/spartacus
folder)- feature related modules (placed in the
app/spartacus/features
folder)
- feature related modules (placed in the
SpartacusConfigurationModule
(placed in theapp/spartacus
folder)
Spartacus Module
Every Angular application has a root app module, usually named AppModule
. In the reference app strcuture, this module includes application-wide imports, and avoids complex module imports related to Spartacus by handling only one SpartacusModule
.
Note: Both Angular Router and NgRx are used by Spartacus, but these affect the global application, so they are kept outside of the SpartacusModule
and are imported directly in the AppModule
.
The SpartacusModule
is composed of the following:
- The
BaseStorefrontModule
, which encapsulates core Spartacus imports that are usually required by most Spartacus applications. TheBaseStorefrontModule
is imported directly from@spartacus/storefront
. - The
SpartacusFeaturesModule
, which encapsulates Spartacus features. - The
SpartacusConfigurationModule
, which encapsulates the general Spartacus configuration.
In most cases, the SpartacusModule
does not get modified because changes are more often encapsulated in configuration modules or feature modules.
The following is an example of the SpartacusModule
:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BaseStorefrontModule } from '@spartacus/storefront';
import { SpartacusConfigurationModule } from './spartacus-configuration.module';
import { SpartacusFeaturesModule } from './spartacus-features.module';
@NgModule({
imports: [
BaseStorefrontModule,
SpartacusFeaturesModule,
SpartacusConfigurationModule,
],
exports: [BaseStorefrontModule],
})
export class SpartacusModule {}
Spartacus Configuration Module
The SpartacusConfigurationModule
contains all global Spartacus configuration entries.
The following is an example:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { provideConfig } from '@spartacus/core';
import {
layoutConfig,
mediaConfig,
} from '@spartacus/storefront';
@NgModule({
providers: [
provideConfig(layoutConfig),
provideConfig(mediaConfig),
provideConfig({
backend: {
occ: {
baseUrl: 'https://my.custom.occ.url.com',
},
},
context: {
urlParameters: ['baseSite', 'language', 'currency'],
baseSite: ['electronics-spa',],
},
pwa: {
enabled: true,
addToHomeScreen: true,
},
}),
],
})
export class SpartacusConfigurationModule {}
Feature-specific configurations can be kept either in feature modules, or in the SpartacusConfigurationModule
. Keeping them in feature modules helps to maintain a good separation of concerns, so it is generally recommended, but there is nothing against keeping feature-specific configurations in the SpartacusConfigurationModule
if it helps to solve specific issues (for example, by using an env
flag to change the configuration).
Spartacus Features Module
The SpartacusFeaturesModule
is intended to easily manage all non-core Spartacus features, both statically and though lazy loading. It serves as an entry point for all features, which are ideally wrapped into their own, separate feature modules.
With early 3.x minor releases, the SpartacusFeaturesModule
may look bloated and busy, but with every consecutive release, it should become more concise as a result of efforts to move most of the features to separate libraries.
The following is an example:
@NgModule({
imports: [
AuthModule.forRoot(),
// Basic Cms Components
HamburgerMenuModule,
SiteContextSelectorModule,
LinkModule,
BannerModule,
CmsParagraphModule,
TabParagraphContainerModule,
BannerCarouselModule,
CategoryNavigationModule,
NavigationModule,
FooterNavigationModule,
BreadcrumbModule,
/************************* Opt-in features *************************/
ExternalRoutesModule.forRoot(),
JsonLdBuilderModule,
/************************* External features *************************/
TrackingFeatureModule,
StorefinderFeatureModule,
QualtricsFeatureModule,
SmartEditFeatureModule,
],
})
export class SpartacusFeaturesModule {}
Specific Feature Modules
Ideally, one complete feature can be encapsulated into a specific feature module. The module can contain feature-related configurations as well as customizations.
The following is an example of a feature module with a lazy-loaded configuration:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { StoreFinderRootModule } from '@spartacus/storefinder/root';
import { provideConfig } from '@spartacus/core';
import {
storeFinderTranslationChunksConfig,
storeFinderTranslations,
} from '@spartacus/storefinder/assets';
@NgModule({
imports: [StoreFinderRootModule],
providers: [
provideConfig({
featureModules: {
storeFinder: {
module: () =>
import('@spartacus/storefinder').then((m) => m.StoreFinderModule),
},
},
i18n: {
resources: storeFinderTranslations,
chunks: storeFinderTranslationChunksConfig,
},
}),
],
})
export class StorefinderFeatureModule {}

Database Model
The Database Model is defined by a collection of XML tags
which define the database connections, the database, the database
tables, and all objects which make up the database. The database
model can be entered manually by text editing or by the Nitrogen
tool (schematool) which will read an existing database and generate
the XML model.
The following is a basic model of a database table for "users"
data.

_Stepmom_ (PG-13) *** (out of ****)
The breezy trailers for _Stepmom_ would lead one to believe that it is one of those light films one would expect from director Chris Columbus. The reality of the film, so cleverly hidden in the rushes, is much more sober and serious. Some would go so far as to call it sad. But it doesn't go quite _that_ far, in my opinion. _Stepmom_ is a well-made and undeniably involving film, but its artistic compromises are not completely effective.
The character being referred to by the title actually is not a stepmother, at least not yet. She's Isabel Kelly (Julia Roberts) the much younger live-in girlfriend of Luke Harrison (Ed Harris). Luke's two children, 7-year-old Ben (Liam Aiken) and especially 12-year-old Anna (Jena Malone) are resentful of Isabel, and somewhat rightfully so--they have been blessed (spoiled?) with a perfect mother, Luke's ex-wife Jackie (Susan Sarandon). Although busy professional photographer Isabel scarcely has the time or interest for parenting, the kids are occasionally left in her questionable care, creating even more points of conflict between the two women.
About the first hour of _Stepmom_ has a nice hard edge, albeit somewhat overwritten by the five credited scripters, Gigi Levangie, Jessie Nelson, Steven Rogers, Karen Leigh Hopkins, and Ron Bass. (I'm not so sure a girl Anna's can come up with such pithy zingers so quickly; it's one thing to be a smartass, and quite another to be a smart ass.) Even during the seemingly happier moments, there's a palpable undercurrent of tension, especially between Isabel and Jackie. Their conflicts over parenting philosophies and authority is something not often seen in film, and it's solidly played by Roberts and Sarandon.
Columbus is not known for displaying a hard edge, if even one at all, and so the air of anger cannot last--or, at the very least, must tone down somewhat. And that it does, in a less than convincing fashion. The most contrived development has Anna, who has heretofore been Isabel's most vocal detractor, make a complete 180 after Isabel shows her a nifty painting technique; before long, the two are best friends singing along to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in the car. But the big complication--and the film's big secret--is also a big misstep. Jackie, it is revealed, has secretly been receiving treatment for cancer, and her condition is steadily worsening toward the inevitable.
Now, I have no problem with films featuring people suffering from a terminal disease. But throughout _Stepmom_ I wondered if the illness wrinkle was really necessary. The Jackie/Isabel conflict was already involving, with each side showing its share of right and wrong; making Jackie sick unfairly stacks the sympathy deck in her favor. But I suppose the illness was a necessary compromising device for Columbus, enabling him to try something more edgy at first and then settle into familiar, safe, and blatantly calculated schmaltz, which hits full-throttle with the de rigueur mawkish mother-child "goodbye" scenes. And though this is an adult-aimed film, Columbus also couldn't completely shake his _Home_Alone_ kiddie tendencies by casting Aiken, a Macaulay-esque moppet who is as short on talent as he is long on cuteness.
Before her comeback with _My_Best_Friend's_Wedding_, Roberts was in a bit of a career bind. She wanted to prove her serious acting chops, but audiences wanted to see her megawatt smile and hear her whooping laugh, and drab, smile-less efforts such as _Mary_Reilly_ flopped. Here, Roberts attempts to have the best of both worlds, flashing those pearly whites ever so often within a meaty dramatic context. Unlike Columbus's compromise, hers works, and she delivers one of her most impassioned performances, holding her own against the formidable Sarandon, who is true to strong form. Stealing some of their thunder is the impressive Malone, who plays such a convincing brat in the earlygoing you may find yourself wanting to slap her.
While I was not among the people who cried at various points during _Stepmom_, it did strike some emotional chords. But the film's effectiveness had less to do with the story than it did the strong work of the actors--an all too appropriate compromise in a film characterized by them. (opens December 25)

Vegans sue Burger King over meat contamination of Impossible Burger Whopper
by David PescovitzSome vegans have filed a lawsuit against Burger King because they cook the Impossible Burger Whoppers on the same grill as their meat burgers. According to the suit, the Impossible Whopper is not a vegan option and the restaurant doesn't disclose the meat contamination on their menu. Of course, vegans and vegetarians have been quite vocal about this issue since the Impossible Whopper's introduction.
According to TMZ, plaintiff Philip Williams "not only wants damages ... he wants the judge to order Burger King to stop cooking Impossible Burgers and the OG burgers on the same grill.

Convert (year, month, day) in the Gregorian calendar to days since the internal epoch (2000-01-01).
The year
is restricted to be greater than or equal to 0001, which allows the internal 400-year era to start on 0000-03-01 with era=0, and we don't have to worry about negative eras.
No input validation is performed. The behavior is undefined if the parameters are outside their expected range. The algorithm will likely work for dates between 0000-03-01 and 32767-12-31 (inclusive), but has been tested only for dates between 0001-01-01 and 9999-12-31 (inclusive).

Hi
Special equipment: Waffle iron
Preheat the waffle iron to the regular setting.
Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla and 2 egg yolks. Pour over the dry ingredients and very gently stir until halfway combined. Pour in the melted butter and continue mixing very gently until combined.
In a separate bowl using a whisk (or a mixer), beat the 4 egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold them into the batter, stopping short of mixing them all the way through.
Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to its directions (lean toward the waffles being a little deep golden and crisp!). Serve immediately with softened butter and warm syrup.

Steps for teaching your dog to sit
- Work with your dog in an environment that's comfortable for him and somewhere without distractions.
 He should be focused on you.
- To help get his attention, show him that you have a small treat. Hold it in your hand, close to his nose.
- Continuing to hold the treat close to his head (so he doesn't jump), slowly move the treat from the dog's nose to behind his head. He will be laser focused on the treat and will naturally sit down to follow it.
 Give him plenty of praise for a job well done.
- Repeat these steps for only 10-15 minutes. You don't want to wear him out and lose his attention. Dogs are like small children in that they have a short attention span and get bored easily. Continue with training over the next few days until he is able to sit on command without needing a treat.


Disclaimer: I’m the lead designer of the Corinna object-oriented system going into the Perl core . I’m probably a bit biased here.
It seems like a week can’t go by without another blog entry or video explaining why object-oriented programming (OOP) is bad . While the content of many of those articles is bad, if you read enough of them, some common themes emerge: “mutability” and “genericity.” Both are difficult to solve, so it’s worth explaining what’s wrong here. But first, what’s an object?
What’s an Object?
Let’s take an extended quote from my book Beginning Perl .
ÆVAR THE PERSONAL SHOPPER
You’re an awfully busy person and have little free time but plenty of disposable income, so you’ve decided to hire a personal shopper. His name is Ævar (any resemblance to reviewers of this book, living or dead, is purely coincidental) and he’s friendly, flamboyant, and most of all, cheap.
Because Ævar is new to both your city and the job, you have to tell him carefully how much money he can spend, exactly what quality of products you want, and where to buy them. You may even have to tell him which route to drive to pick up the goods and how to invoice you.
That, in essence, is procedural code and that’s what you’ve been doing up to now. You’ve been carefully telling the computer every step of the way what to do.
 And he does. He knows what you like and where to get it. He’s become an expert. In OO terms, you might now be doing this:
my $aevar = Shopper::Personal->new({ name => 'Ævar', budget => 100 }); $aevar->buy(@list_of_things_to_buy); my $invoice = $aevar->get_invoice;
You’re no longer telling Ævar every little step he needs to take to get your shopping done. He’s an expert, and he has all the knowledge needed to do your shopping for you and present you with the bill.
That’s all objects are. They are experts about a problem domain, but that’s actually a problem.
Generic Experts
This issue is extremely important, but it’s one that’s not touched on often enough.
OOP works best in constrained environments. For a company, if your developers really understand OOP (they often don’t), OOP is great because you can create custom experts for your domain. Your objects know how your custom authentication and authorization system work, so you can share this code with other developers in the company and they don’t have to rewrite it.
Until that one team has some custom authorization rules dealing with SOX compliance, GDPR, PCI, or a host of other things you’ve never heard of. They might ask you to make your objects more “generic” to allow them to handle their custom needs, but that starts to add complexity and, potentially bugs. If enough teams ask for this, your beautiful authorization object can become an unmaintainable god object. Systems grow. Needs grow. And software often suffers as a result.
This is fundamentally a problem with abstraction. Just because I develop a good abstraction for my use case doesn’t mean I’ve developed a good abstraction for yours.
In other words, for generic OOP, it can often be problematic because your solution may not be general enough to fit other people’s needs. For Perl, the LWP objects to handle Web communication tend to work very well because it’s a well-constrained problem space.
In contrast, my own HTML::TokeParser::Simple module is less generally useful because it fits a particular use case that doesn’t map well to many closely-related problem spaces, For example, when you need to map out the hierarchical structure of HTML, the stream of tokens my module produces aren’t well=suited to this. Thus, you may find yourself using a class that kinda works for what you want, but is ill-suited for what you need.
Another interesting problem is dealing with scale. For example, in a small company with maybe 20 to 30 programmers, a well-designed object can be a godsend. In a company with 200 to 300 programmers, a well-designed object can often be a source of pain because it doesn’t quite fit the needs of other teams. However, it’s often hard to make an object extensible in a way that fits the needs of others because it’s hard to plan for needs that you’re not aware of. If you’re lucky, your company might have a policy that all shared objects have a shared interface (possibly with default implementations) and different teams implement them to suit their unique needs.
If you’re unlucky, different teams all implement their own Customer
class
and if your code interacts with their code, there’s no guarantee of
interoperability. I speak from bitterly personal experience where another team
implemented a User
object that had only the two methods they needed, not the
many, many more that were generally available. A search through their
multi-million line codebase revealed many custom-made user objects, none of
which really worked like the others, but any of which could potentially leak
into other’s code (this is where static typing or type constraints really
shine, but that’s another article).
Objects for poorly-defined problem spaces don’t scale. If you might face this, define those problem spaces before the problem starts. Let people create their own custom objects, but with the minimum required common functionality.
Mutability
The big issue that is touched on, however, is a serious problem: mutable
state. You can send an object to many different areas of your code and then
some code far away from you mutates the state and suddenly you find that the
DateTime
object you were using has a different state from what you had
tested earlier.
As a general rule, sending an object somewhere is sending a reference, not a copy. Why is this bad? You can read Ricardo Signes' horror story about a bug dealing with mutable state in objects . When you’re building a complex system and you cannot depend on the state of your objects, you are in for a world of hurt when it bites you because it can be a nightmare figuring out what unexpectedly changed the state.
This is irrelevant in the face of immutable objects. Once you fully understand why changing an object’s state is bad, your programming becomes much more robust.
If you would like to know more about the issues with immutable objects, read my why do we want immutable objects? article.
As an aside, if you switch to a service-based architecture, you can’t send references, only copies. This makes the system more robust, but the trade=off is performance. This is why cloning is often shallow instead of deep. But, if you have immutable objects, sending a reference is irrelevant because you don’t risk mutating its state. Well, unless you’re using an ORM and something outside the program mutates that state. Speaking of which ...
Object-Relational Mappers
But then we come to the real problem: Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs). ORMs are almost by default mutable (there are immutable ORMs, but they’re not common).
my $customer = Acme::Model::Data::Customer->new($id);
$customer->name($new_name);
$customer->save;
This is real fun when separate parts of the code fetch the same object from the database and mutate it at the same time. Optimistic offline locking and similar strategies are your friend here.
Otherwise, you’re passing those around, it’s trivial for something to mutate the state and cause you grief. For Tau Station , we (I) learned this the hard way and now we often fetch data from the database and simply return a copy of the data structure. It’s faster and safer that way.
But regardless of the safety of protecting the underlying data, it still doesn’t alter the fact that not only is the state mutable, it’s stored outside the program. You can be as careful as you want, even creating read-only instances of ORM objects, but if two processes pick the same object and something changes the underlying state, you can still have incorrectly functioning software. ORMs make working with databases much easier, but there is a price to pay.
Teaching OOP?
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to effective OOP is, sadly, teaching it.
When I was learning Java in college, I still remember my first Java instructor, fresh out of college, struggling to explain the different between classes and instances. You could tell she knew the difference, but she had trouble articulating it in a way that students could understand. But that’s class-based OOP. Not all OOP systems are based around classes. Prototype-based OOP doesn’t have classes.
My second Java instructor had us build a Swing interface to read some records from a database and display them in a form. I immediately thought MVC and built model, view, and controller classes, along with a complete set of JUnit tests. My instructor rejected my code on the grounds of “I think this code might be good, but I don’t understand it. Please submit all of it as a single class.” I also had to not submit my JUnit tests.

- Objects are data with behavior attached
- Objects are smart structs
- Objects are user-defined data types
- Objects are polymorphic containers
- ... and so on
All of those miss the point. They’re talking about the implementation or structural details of objects and not the reason for objects. Why do we have cars? So we can drive from place to place. We can argue about the engines later.
The reason we have objects, as I noted above, is that object can be experts about a problem space.  Pretty cool, huh?
Using objects is great, but building objects? Learning how to do this well involves a bewildering array of concepts such as SOLID , GRASP , the Liskov substitution principle , the Law of Demeter , not exposing implementation details (also known as the abstraction principle ), and so on. The last point, I might add, is why I have objected to lvalue attribute in Corinna (unless we can also have lvalue methods). You should be able to freely convert this:
field $public_key :reader :writer;
To this:
method public_key ($optional_key = undef) {
# fetch key from keystore
}
And your interface remains unchanged on the outside of the class, allowing you to keep your contractual promises with the class' consumers.
But many developers have asked for this:
$object->public_key = $public_key; # field
# versus this:
$object->public_key($public_key); # method
For the above, we’ve tightly coupled the public interface to the private implementation just to add a little syntactic sugar.
Object-oriented design is confusing enough that my friend Bob Gregory , coauthor of the book Architecture Patterns with Python: Enabling Test-Driven Development, Domain-Driven Design, and Event-Driven Microservices , shared an anecdote of how he taught better design to developers. He got fed up with seeing classes with names like
StartHtml
(which would build the start of an HTML document), that he mandated classes be named after creatures. He wound up with classes like theAuthenticationFairy
and theSessionGnome
, experts in their particular domains. Weird, but it appeared to work.
Since many OOP developers are self-taught, and with many OOP implementations being hard to learn, and the bewildering array of complex and sometimes contradictory “best practices” we have to learn, OOP seems to be a more advanced concept than many developers realize.
Conclusion
I think there’s a good case to be made that OOP is not nearly as useful as it’s claimed. I have worked with far too many clients whose OOP systems are, quite frankly, broken. I’ve spent a considerable about of time and energy (and thereby client money) fixing these broken systems. For one, someone had created a system whereby every time you created a new system component, you had to create a new class holding information about that component. No specialized behavior—just information. In fact, for each component, sometimes you had to add more than one new class—again, just for storing information (almost all of it strings). I proposed a different, data-driven system which, when done, would replace about 30 (and growing) classes with two (not growing).
In contrast, great OOP systems are a joy to work on and have made my life easier. I strongly recommend them, but they don’t seem terribly common.
In the research study “Productivity Analysis of Object-Oriented Software Developed in a Commercial Environment” (Potok, Vouk, Rindos, 1999), the researchers found that there is very little quantitative evidence that OOP improves productivity in commercial environments. On the plus side, there was also little evidence that it hinders productivity. And I know that when I hand a hideously complex authorization object to a new developer, so long as they stick to the interface, it magically works. I call that a win.
I love programming in OOP and (mostly) prefer it over procedural code (we’ll skip other paradigms for now). Further, a great many programmers seem to reach for it as a first solution rather than the last, so I’ll continue to work on the Corinna OOP system to make OOP easier for Perl, but I’m hard-pressed to combat criticisms against OOP itself. For now, just remember:
- Immutability is your friend
- Keep your interfaces small
- Well-constrained problem spaces are better for OOP
- Poorly-constrained problem spaces can be great for OOP, but they don’t scale
There’s a lot more than that, but those are great starters for decent OOP programming.
Until next time, happy hacking!
