package me.josephsf.jobportaljosephsfeir.service
Provides service classes for the Job Portal application.
This package contains service classes that implement the business logic of the Job Portal application. The services in this package act as an intermediary layer between the controllers and the repositories, processing business logic, data transformation, and validation.
Key components in this package:
UserService- Manages user account operationsAuthService- Handles authentication, registration and password managementCandidateService- Manages candidate profile operations and searchesRecruiterService- Manages recruiter profile operations and searchesJobService- Handles job posting operations and searchesApplicationService- Manages job application operations and status updates
The service layer is responsible for:
- Implementing business logic and rules
- Data validation and transformation
- Coordinating operations between multiple repositories
- Managing transactions when necessary
- Converting between DTOs and entity objects
- Handling appropriate error conditions
Services are designed to be stateless, making them thread-safe and suitable for use in a web application environment. They use constructor-based dependency injection to receive their dependencies, making them more testable and maintainable.
Example usage from a controller:
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/jobs")
public class JobController {
private final JobService jobService;
public JobController(JobService jobService) {
this.jobService = jobService;
}
@GetMapping("/{id}")
public ResponseEntity<?> getJobById(@PathVariable String id) {
Job job = jobService.getJobById(id);
if (job == null) {
return ResponseEntity.notFound().build();
}
return ResponseEntity.ok(job);
}
}
