Design Patterns – Business Delegate Pattern

Business Delegate Pattern is used to decouple presentation tier and business tier. It is basically use to reduce communication or remote lookup functionality to business tier code in presentation tier code. In business tier we have following entities.

• Client – Presentation tier code may be JSP, servlet or UI java code.
• Business Delegate – A single entry point class for client entities to provide access to Business Service methods.
• LookUp Service – Lookup service object is responsible to get relative business implementation and provide business object access to business delegate object.
• Business Service – Business Service interface. Concrete classes implement this business service to provide actual business implementation logic.

BusinessService.java

public interface BusinessService {
   public void doProcessing();
}

EJBService.java

public class EJBService implements BusinessService {

   @Override
   public void doProcessing() {
      System.out.println("Processing task by invoking EJB Service");
   }
}

JMSService.java

public class JMSService implements BusinessService {

   @Override
   public void doProcessing() {
      System.out.println("Processing task by invoking JMS Service");
   }
}

BusinessLookUp.java

public class BusinessLookUp {
   public BusinessService getBusinessService(String serviceType){
   
      if(serviceType.equalsIgnoreCase("EJB")){
         return new EJBService();
      }
      else {
         return new JMSService();
      }
   }
}

BusinessDelegate.java

public class BusinessDelegate {
   private BusinessLookUp lookupService = new BusinessLookUp();
   private BusinessService businessService;
   private String serviceType;

   public void setServiceType(String serviceType){
      this.serviceType = serviceType;
   }

   public void doTask(){
      businessService = lookupService.getBusinessService(serviceType);
      businessService.doProcessing();		
   }
}

Client.java

public class Client {
	
   BusinessDelegate businessService;

   public Client(BusinessDelegate businessService){
      this.businessService  = businessService;
   }

   public void doTask(){		
      businessService.doTask();
   }
}

BusinessDelegatePatternDemo.java

public class BusinessDelegatePatternDemo {
	
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      BusinessDelegate businessDelegate = new BusinessDelegate();
      businessDelegate.setServiceType("EJB");

      Client client = new Client(businessDelegate);
      client.doTask();

      businessDelegate.setServiceType("JMS");
      client.doTask();
   }
}
