FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Spring Boot project using the COLA architecture?

To structure a Spring Boot project using COLA architecture, organize your code into Adapter, App, Domain, and Infrastructure layers. This enforces Domain-Driven Design principles, reduces boilerplate, and ensures a maintainable codebase from the start.

How do I generate a new Java web application with a Maven archetype?

Generate a new Java web application using the cola-archetype-web Maven archetype. Specify your groupId, artifactId, and version to instantly create a project skeleton following COLA's directory structure and naming conventions.

What is the COLA framework and when do I need it for Java development?

The COLA framework provides a Clean Object-Oriented and Layered Architecture for Java development. You need it when building complex applications requiring Domain-Driven Design patterns, strict layer separation, and standardized components like DTO and StateMachine.

Does the COLA architecture support Domain-Driven Design components like StateMachine and Extension?

Yes, the COLA architecture supports Domain-Driven Design by providing built-in components such as StateMachine, Extension, DTO, and Exception. These components help manage complex business logic and domain events efficiently.

What is the best way to organize Java code layers for maintainability?

The best way to organize Java code layers for maintainability is using COLA's four-layer architecture: Adapter, App, Domain, and Infrastructure. This separation isolates business logic from infrastructure details, ensuring scalable and clean code.
