Java Reference
In-Depth Information
Note that in this interface, we are identifying teams by their names (since we pass
String
ob-
jects back and forth) and identifying players by their player IDs, which are
UUID
objects. We
could just pass the
Team
and
Player
objects back and forth over the network, but these are
much larger than the
String
and
UUID
objects, and we are trying to keep our communication
overhead minimal. This means that the clients reporting the scores need to find out the play-
er IDs for all of the players on a team. This could be done by having those
UUID
objects be
well known in some way (published in a newspaper, for example). But a more self-contained
mechanism is to allow the clients to get a roster of the players on a team by talking with the
StatRecorder server
, which is the purpose of our second method in the interface.
Implementing the
BoxScore
interface is reasonably easy, especially if we ignore the details of
how the data would get into this object (which, for the sake of simplicity in this example, we
will). A quick implementation would look something like:
package org.oreilly.javaGoodParts.examples.impl;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.UUID;
import org.oreilly.javaGoodParts.examples.statistics.Batter.AtBatResult;
import org.oreilly.javaGoodParts.examples.statistics.BoxScore;
import org.oreilly.javaGoodParts.examples.statistics.DidNotPlayException;
import org.oreilly.javaGoodParts.examples.statistics.Fielder.AttemptResult;
import org.oreilly.javaGoodParts.examples.statistics.Player.Position;
/**

* all of the little details like how the data that populates the private
* fields is actually placed into the object.
