Naked Objects and .NET.

 Naked objects is interesting approach but combining with UML tool it can be very powerful tool. Writing UML and generating naked objects on the flay to check object behavior, find flows in our UML diagram, fix those flows and generating again naked objects can be very helpful while designing systems. Such approach was introduce by Richard Pawson and Dan Haywood for Java developers using together J and macros, builds for together J, that generate naked objects based on given UML diagram (TheServerSide).

 

With the availability of Naked Objects for .NET released from 2/10/2004 for download. Yes, they use J# computability with Java 1.1 to create .NET version of their Java version but in the end of the day the import code is pure .NET CLS code. I think it’s time to write Add-in for Visio so we can take advantage of this ability. I'm going to deal with that add-in from the middle of April (after MVP summit), any volunteers?

  • Hi,

    I've read their book before one year in aprox.

    They wrote that implemented such systems in big enough number of cases.

    There is approach about using naked objects in UI layer too.

    It sounds really cool, but like all(almost :-)) cool things (extreme programming etc.) I don't believe that this approach will take place in the reall world(as sort of standard).

    It is one more think all speak about but nobody using.

    Unfortunately.

  • I also don't think that naked objects can't be applicable for real life application. But they could be very useful for designing phase of systems. Take a look at the last article from TheServerSide, it can be very helpful to play with UML model just after creating them.
