Fall 2009ACS-3913 Ron McFadyen2 Ch 17: Use Case Realizations with GRASP Patterns makeNewSale 1 st concern: who/what is going to be responsible for handling the system operation makeNewSale? Decision: Using the Controller Pattern … since there aren’t very many system operations and since Register (in our domain) represents the overall system, we choose Register as a “façade” controller.

Fall 2009ACS-3913 Ron McFadyen5 Use Case Realizations with GRASP Patterns 2 nd concern: who/what is going to be responsible for creating a Sale? Should Register delegate the responsibility or …? Since Register (in the domain) actually records a Sale then, by “Creator”, we decide that Register will do this. Register has the data and it needs to keep track of a Sale, so …

Fall 2009ACS-3913 Ron McFadyen8 Use Case Realizations with GRASP Patterns 3 rd concern: Sale needs to know of its SalesLineItems. A container for these is required. Who/What should create this? Since Sale will contain the lines, by “Creator”, we decide that Sale will do this…

Fall 2009ACS-3913 Ron McFadyen14 Use Case Realizations with GRASP Patterns enterItem 2 nd concern: who/what is going to be responsible for finding a match for a product specification? For doing a lookup? Who has knowledge of product specifications? Who is capable of doing a lookup? Expert suggests the product catalogue is the best candidate. The product catalogue contains the product specifications … the product catalogue has the information, it is the expert.
