Roma is a modular Java web framework that allows developers to: 1. Model applications as simple Java classes for the domain and business logic. 2. Automatically generate forms and handle data binding between Java objects and the user interface. 3. Orchestrate application behavior through aspects implemented as Java interfaces.
![Let's think to the application domain , then model it in simple Java Classes, write the business logic and Roma will make all the rest “ ” <Meta> Framework www.RomaFramework.org Luca Garulli CTO AssetData [email_address]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/roma-meta-framework-concepts-javaday-rome-2007-1196762911766183-3/85/Roma-Meta-Framework-Concepts-JavaDay-Rome-2007-1-320.jpg)

- 5. Roma: main concepts demo/ roma-project.xml build.xml src/ it/javaday/roma/demo test/ WebContent/ WEB-INF/ classes/ lib/ ... Write the model behavior + business logic Start to write domain classes under package it.javaday.roma.demo.domain Generate empty project scaffolding Run!
- 6. View: automatic rendering main:COLUMN default:GRID(4) notes:COLUMN actions:ROW Ok Cancel Print default area uses a GRID to place the POJO fields. You can choice how much columns to use. Order is given by Annotation or XML Annotation actions is the default area for actions. It's defined as a ROW You can specify custom areas where to place fields and actions. There is no limit to the number of areas you can create Name City Notes Web Surname
- 7. @ViewClass(orderFields="name surname city web", orderActions="ok cancel print") public class Customer{ private String name; private String surname; private String city; private String web; private String notes; public void ok(){} public void cancel(){} public void print(){} } View: POJO mapping Roma controller binds the POJO directly to the form generated. The relationship is 1-1 : if you change the content of a field in the browser, it will be updated in you Java object and viceversa. When you push any button, the action associated will be executed. Fast to write, easy to debug, simple to handle!
- 8. Behavior aspect orchestration login() display Start user session display Persistence (repository) I18N (Internationalization) View DB Authentication Session Flow
- 9. MVC Controller: 100% POJO based Invoking “ OK ” Action Bind changed form fields to the POJO Call ok () method against the POJO Validate POJO's rules + validate () method if any Follow the flow declared using Java5 Annotation
