Once we had some needs similar to yours.


On the persistence side, we creat=
ed a "third store" in a relational database to be able to consolidate and d=
eduplicate data. We created a "roles table" to link all thirds together. An=
 item of this table is composed of the following information :
{ RoleId, Th=
ird1Id, Third2Id, ValidityStartDate, ValidityEndDate }, with light validati=
on rules.


The software repository is giving us a graph of connected thirds=
, expressed in clear business language (Ubiquitous Language) :
{ Client, Ad=
dress, { Spouse , Employer }}


Complete validation occurs in the Client agg=
regate root... this allow us to manage many different graphs with specific =
validation rules for each of these...


Hope this helps.

Objet : [domaindrivendesign] How to model this beha=
viour on multiple aggregates?


  
We currently have a model where a single =
aggregate models a Person (identification, address, etc) and his/her person=
al relationships (marriage, partnership, divorces, etc.). This aggregate is=
 fairly large and not all use cases interested in the relations where opera=
ting on the Person aggregate, we are looking at the consequences of splitti=
ng this in two aggregates (Person and PersonRelation for instance).


As a c=
onsequence, there is no possibility to implement something like Person.marr=
iesTo(Person.Id anotherPerson). The reason is the constraint that this is o=
nly allowed as long as this relation is not already present at the given mo=
ment (A Person cannot be married twice at the same time). This is just an e=
xample but there a number of constraints on the model with respect to a Per=
son and his relationships.


We have identified the following options on how=
 to implement this but are not satisfied with any of them:
* Create a domai=
n service. This feels unnatural as the behaviour is not part of the Person =
that is marrying.
* Implement the behaviour on Person and provide a list of=
 current relationships, e.g. Person.marriesTo(PersonId anotherPerson, List<=
Relation> currentRelations). This enables the Person to implement the requi=
red behaviour, but also requires some state (a set of aggregates) to be inj=
ected.
* Leave the orchestration to the use case implementing the behaviour=
. This also seems wrong, as the domain should be responsible for maintainin=
g its integrity. A use case creating duplicate relationships cannot be prev=
ented by the domain when using this option.
* Inject the Relation repositor=
y into Person, so existing Relation instances can be requested as part of t=
he implementation. As I understood, this is bad practice as well.


As this =
seems a rather general problem, I am curious on how you guys would model th=
is.
