bertilmuth/being

This system is an event-sourcing library built on the Vlingo Xoom framework, designed to facilitate the creation of domain-driven applications using the command and event handling patterns. It provides core abstractions for defining aggregate behaviors, persisting state changes to a journal, and maintaining query models through projections. The library also includes infrastructure for exposing these aggregates via RESTful HTTP endpoints and managing asynchronous actor communication.

New generated proxy classes have been added to the \being-core/target/generated-sources\ directory to facilitate asynchronous communication with actors. This includes \GridActorControlInbound\_\Proxy\ and \GridActorControlOutbound\\Proxy\ for managing grid node interactions (such as starting, relocating, and delivering messages), as well as proxies for application-specific aggregates and queries (\Aggregate\\Proxy\, \Queries\\Proxy\) and utility holders (\HardRefHolder\\_Proxy\). These proxies implement the respective actor interfaces and handle message serialization and mailbox delivery, enabling the application to interact with these actors remotely or locally via the actor model.

The \being-core\ module introduces the Being library, a framework for building event-sourced applications on top of the VLINGO Xoom platform. It provides core abstractions for defining aggregate behavior through \CommandHandler\ and \EventHandler\ classes, which transform commands into domain events and events into state changes. The library includes infrastructure for persisting the command model to a journal (\CommandModelJournalProvider\) and maintaining query models via projections (\ProjectionActor\, \QueryModel\). Additionally, it offers an HTTP layer (\HttpRequestHandlers\) that exposes RESTful endpoints for creating, updating, and querying aggregates, handling the mapping between aggregate state and query data.

The \being-lagom\ module has been completely removed, deleting all Java source files, configuration, and tests that previously provided an implementation of aggregate services using the Lightbend Lagom framework. This includes the \AggregateService\ interface and its \AggregateServiceImpl\ which handled HTTP GET/POST requests via Akka Cluster Sharding, as well as the associated JSON serialization classes (\JsonMessage\, \JacksonMessageMappers\) and the \GreetUserService\ test suite.

The project has been rewritten to use the VLINGO XOOM framework for building event-sourced applications, replacing the previous custom message-driven architecture. This includes a shift from Travis CI to a Gradle-based build system, evidenced by the removal of .travis.yml and the introduction of Gradle wrapper scripts. The core API has changed from interface-based service definitions to class-based aggregate behaviors, where command handlers produce events and event handlers update state, as illustrated by the new Greeting aggregate implementation.

The testing support in the \being-test\ module has been refactored to replace the previous \IncomingMessageHandlers\ and \InternalEventHandlers\ with explicit \CommandHandlers\ and \EventHandlers\. This change moves the test harness from a generic message-based model to a stricter command/event model, aligning with the Vlingo Xoom lattice patterns. The \AggregateBehaviorTest\ class has been rewritten to manage state via event application rather than internal event lists, and the package structure has been flattened by moving classes from \org.requirementsascode.being.test\ to \org.requirementsascode.being\. Additionally, Lagom-specific test configuration files (application.conf, logback-test.xml) have been removed, indicating a shift away from the previous Lagom-based persistence test setup.

The project's Gradle wrapper has been updated from version 6.7.1 to 7.3.3. This ensures that builds are executed using the newer Gradle distribution, which may bring performance improvements, bug fixes, and compatibility updates to the build process.

The project has been rewritten to use the Vlingo Xoom framework, replacing the previous Lagom-based implementation. This change is reflected in the root build.gradle, which now includes the 'io.voolo.xoom:xoom-turbo:1.9.0' dependency and configures JUnit 5 (5.8.1) for testing via the JUnit Platform. The build system has been modernized by switching from the legacy 'maven' plugin to 'java-library' and 'maven-publish', and the project structure has been updated to remove the 'being-lagom' module in favor of 'being-core' and 'being-test' under the new 'org.requirementsascode.being' group.
