- The implementation, even though is an initial early push, has a robust infrastructure. Here's an initial analysis and outline of the implementation:
- The implementation, quite similar in nature to Struts (and he's inspired by Struts for the same), has a front controller and implements Command Pattern.
- Controller is implemented as Application specialization that does all housekeeping.
- Command is modeled using ICommand interface. Noting that a large part of the commands will be network, database, file-system or related operations that may take a long time to complete, it provides response using callback listener for asynchronous implementation
- All commands are managed using CommandQueueManager which internally is managed using a simplified ThreadPool of CommandThread instances.
- The public interface of interacting with this complex infrastructure is CommandExecutor, internally made use of by the Controller.
- Modeling request, response and listeners are available in the package com.mastergaurav.android.mvc.common.
