The first three seminars will be about the three OOPSLA papers from
CCIS this year. Those will be practice talks for the conference
presentation.

Domain Driven Web Development With WebJinn

Web-application development cuts across the HTTP protocol,
the client-side data presentation languages (HTML, XML),
the server-side technology (Servlets, JSP, ASP, PHP),
and the underlying resource (files, database, information system).
Consequently, different web development design concerns including
functionality, presentation, control, and structure are
tangled and scattered, leading to code that is hard to develop,
maintain, and reuse. In this paper we analyze the cause and consequences
of crosscutting in existing web development technologies.
We distinguish between intra-crosscutting that results
in code tangling and inter-crosscutting that results in code scattering.
All current web development models including MVC fail to address
inter-crosscutting. We present two new web development models: XP and DDD.
The XP model introduces extension points as place-holders
for structure-dependent code. The DDD model extends the
MVC framework with extension points. We present a novel domain-driven
web development framework named WebJinn that completely separates
web development concerns. The result is a significant improvement
in web development in terms of reuse.
WebJinn has been used to develop web application at several web sites.
