Book Store

Legacy java code of a playground Book-Store for academic case studies.

About

This code imitates server side core functionality of a bookstore chain. It is not a complete implementation of an operational bookstore, but it provides entry points to imitate server data interactions.
The following scenario / functionality is covered:

• The bookstore indexes books by ISBN. A book is only known to the bookstore if it has been indexed.
  All indexed books have:
  • A price in CAD
  • A title
  • An author
  • An abstract / description
• The bookstore chain has agencies in different cities.
  • There can not be two agencies in the same city
  • Each city has a stock, that tells the amount in store for the indexed books.
• The bookstore chain stores reader feedback for books (comments)
  • Comments are anonymous and have no author
  • Only indexed books can be commented
  • Comments can be updated
  • Comments must not be empty

Documentation

• For a full description of available functionality, read the JavaDoc
• The relevant functionality is exposed by three interfaces:
  • Assortment.java, to access indexed books / index new books.
  • GlobalStock.java, to query and update the stock of individual agencies.
  • Comments.java, to add delete and edit comments on books.

Usage

On execution, the bookstore will simply print a listing of persisted initial dummy data.

1. Get the sources:
   git clone https://github.com/kartoffelquadrat/BookStoreInternals.git

2. Compile the project with maven. This provides you with a self contained jar in the targetfolder:
   mvn clean package

3. Run the jar:
   java -jar target/BookStore.jar

Invokation

If you want to use the bookstore as dependency:

• First compile it with:
  mvn clean install

• Then reference it, using this dependency block

   <dependency>
       <groupId>eu.kartoffelquadrat</groupId>
       <artifactId>bookstoreinternals</artifactId>
       <version>1.3</version>
