Case Study

Domain Model

Previous Next
The domain model of the case study is identical with the Spring JPetstore sample application in its salient aspects. The case study introduces a layer supertype class (not shown in the diagram) that bestows a unique identifier property on each subclass. All of the classes are POJOs and are persisted by the data access layer. A Product describes a class of items that can be sold, and is associated with a Category. An Item holds inventory information about Products, such as status, quantity in stock, list price and unit cost. An Account describes an end user of the JPetStore, and holds information such as the user's name, address and authentication credentials. Users shop online using a Cart, to which they can add and remove Items. CartItem represents an association between an individual user's cart and Items in inventory at a particular moment in the user's shopping experience. Once the user makes a purchase, the items in the Cart become an Order. An Order contains information about the user, payment method, billing and shipping address. LineItem associates Items in inventory with an Order.
