Package com.abstratt.kirra
This reference implementation happens to use the Java language, but the intent is that it could be easily translated to other programming languages (or computing domains, such as network-oriented APIs).
The goal is that by detaching view technologies from model technologies, we can mix and match generic clients and domain-specific applications, no matter what particular technology (within and across language silos) for domain-driven development they are built on.
The generic object model
Business entity instances in the application are accessed via theInstance class, which includes values for properties and optionally related/child instances.
Entity metadata is available via the Entity class. Further metadata can be obtained via related objects, such as Property, Relationship, Operation etc.
The InstanceManagement API gives CRUD access to entity instances, including relationship traversal, and provides a mechanism for invoking operations (including actions and queries).
The SchemaManagement API gives access to the schema of the application.
The Repository merges both instance and schema-related features.
