Lutece 8 DAO & Home Patterns

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for developing database access layers within the Lutece 8 framework. It enforces specific architectural patterns including the DAOUtil lifecycle with try-with-resources, standardized SQL constant naming, and the implementation of static Home facades using CDI lookups. By referencing core Lutece patterns and plugin examples, it ensures consistency across entity persistence, collection handling, and interface conventions, making it essential for building robust and maintainable Lutece business modules.

Key Features

• Implementation of static Home facades with CDI integration
• Interface-driven DAO design patterns for clean architectural abstraction
• Predefined naming conventions for SQL query constants (CRUD and custom finders)
• Support for Lutece-specific collection types like ReferenceList for UI dropdowns
• 1 GitHub stars
• Standardized DAOUtil lifecycle management using try-with-resources

Use Cases

• Creating new database entities and their corresponding persistence layers in Lutece plugins
• Implementing search and selection logic for UI components using ReferenceLists and custom finders
• Refactoring legacy Lutece DAO code to follow Lutece 8 standards and CDI patterns
