Common Components SDK v1.4.0 is now available for download. This version includes support for more kinds of object processors and introduces the concept of container rules. We also added a suite of examples.

SequenceObjectProcessorBuilder:

The concept of a composite object processor has been abstracted and there are two variations: "Chain" and "Sequence". The "Chain" object processor builder still helps you "find the right handler." The new "Sequence" object processor builder helps you broadcast requests to all appropriate objects. It is intended to help you add features to a logical entity by composition (see the Decorator Pattern link below).

Container Rules:

Container rules are object processors that encapsulate entire logical rules. The same way that encapsulation allows us to treat a cluster of objects as whole from without, container rules allow parts to interface with the whole from within.

EXAMPLES:

We have included a suite of examples to help you visualize what Common Components can do for you.

FREE:

Common Components is still completely FREE.
