I have some concussion to make proper design for the following interface and class. The requirement is the following:-
public interface Entity {
// Returns entity name
String getName();
// Returns a unique identifier
String getID();
// Returns the sub-entities of this entity
Set<Entity> getSubEntities();
// Returns a set of key-value data belonging to this entity
Map<String,String> getData();
}
public class SubEntity implements Entity {
private String ID;
private String name;
private int price;
private Set<Entity> sbuEntities;
public SubEntity(){
ID = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
}
public SubEntity(String name, int price) {
this.name = name;
this.price = price;
this.ID = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.ID = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public int getPrice() {
return price;
}
public void setPrice(int price) {
this.price = price;
}
public String getID() {
return ID;
}
public void addSubEntity(Entity entity){
if(sbuEntities == null){
sbuEntities = new HashSet<>();
}
sbuEntities.add(entity);
};
public Set<Entity> getSubEntities(){
return sbuEntities;
}
public Map<String, String> getData() {
if(sbuEntities == null){
sbuEntities = new HashSet<>();
}
return sbuEntities.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(Entity::getID,
Object::toString));
}
public String toString() {
return "SubEntity{" +
"id='" + ID + '\'' +
", name='" + name + '\'' +
", price=" + price +
'}';
}
}
There could be many types of SubEnitity that implement this interface. Also, every SubEnitity should have a Set as Set subentities or Set sbuEntities. I have confusion about the Set. Should I keep inside the SubEntity or outside. I would like to know your opinion with possible pros an cons.
