domainobjektiin

Domainobjektiin refers to an object that is part of the core domain model in software design, representing real-world concepts within a business domain. In methods influenced by domain-driven design, domain objects encapsulate both data and the behavior that enforces business rules, rather than serving merely as data containers. Typical domain objects include entities with identity (such as a Customer or Order) and value objects that describe descriptive attributes without a distinct identity.

A key distinction in this concept is between domain objects and other layers such as persistence models or data transfer objects. Domain objects focus on the logic and invariants of the business domain, while infrastructure concerns are handled by other components. Rich domain models emphasize behavior inside the objects, moving logic from service layers into the domain objects themselves. This contrasts with an anemic domain model, where objects mainly hold data and business rules reside in separate services.

Common patterns involve entities that maintain invariants through methods, aggregates that define boundaries for consistency, and repositories that handle persistence while keeping domain objects decoupled from data access concerns. Relationships among domain objects, such as composition and associations, must preserve invariants across changes and operations like updates, validations, and calculations.

Practical considerations include balancing complexity and clarity, ensuring testability, and integrating domain objects with persistence layers and domain services when appropriate. Domainobjektiin serves as a conceptual label for objects that embody core business knowledge and behavior in a well-structured domain model.
