Part II - Dreamcar questions

[Víctor García]

Hi,

First of all, i'm sorry for my english, it will'be a problem in part 3...

I have the Dreamcar assignment and i have some questions...

The tree part types has to be extensibles, and we need to design a solution that can get more part types in a future. There are tree posible solutions:
- A generalization with a specialized class for each part type. If we assume that each part type will have specialized data and/or behavior.
- A single PartType class asociated to Request and no asociated to CarModel. If we assume that a Request have only to know the category and the number of parts.
- A class Part asociated to a class/enumeration PartCategory. If we assume that a Request need to know anthing more that the category and the number of parts or if we assume that there are an inventary in db managed by others use cases.

Has someone thought about this?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Victor,

The possible reason for not getting any responses is, you are talking about a specific requirement in your real assignment.
Simple tip : when you are posting questions, don't mention assignment name and change the requirement to a generic question.

All the best.

Best regards,
Sri.

Ok, I understand... thanks

I have another question: i think that the multiplicity have to change from Domain Model to Class Diagram... because in the Domain Model we have concepts while in the class diagram we have software elements...

And then, imagine that we have an item with one or more subitems... in this case, i think that in the Domain Model the multiplicity would be *, ok? In the class diagram, could we have a multiplicity of 1 if we have an attribute quantity_of_subitems and all subitems are the same...?

Hi

I have a question regarding the relationship:
What relationship are you considering carmarket and car models. To me it seems many to many.
Also request can be placed against the parts for a particular carmarket.
And bidders can select carmarket of their choice and search request and place bid.
Please comment.
Thanks
Amit

This question seems to be diverging from what might be discussion of the domain model, to talking about how to solve parts of the assignment. The first is allowable, the later - definitely not.

You might want to reconsider your question.
