Design Patterns

The application use the MVC pattern for the domain layers and the Repository pattern for the data layers, with an institial service layer that maps data flows.

Presentation Layer

• model/ - implements the domain entities
• resources/views/ - contains the JavaFX user interface files
• controller/ - responsible for interactions between UI views and domain objects

Service Layer

• service/ - bidirectional translation of Models (domain objects) to DTOs for transfer to Data layer

Data Layer

• dto/ - contains DTOs (Data Transfer Object) for transfering data between Presentation and Data layers
• dal/ - implements DAOs (Data Access Object) to abstract the process of persisting data to an arbitrary database
