1.2 Architectural Principles

1.2.1 Multi-Layer Architecture

Separation of Concerns: Clear layer boundaries with defined responsibilities
Dependency Inversion: Higher-level modules don't depend on lower-level modules
Interface Segregation: Clients only depend on interfaces they use
Single Responsibility: Each component has one reason to change

1.2.2 Dual Access Pattern

ILogic Interface Abstraction: Single interface supporting multiple backends
BL Implementation: Direct database access for performance-critical scenarios
WS Implementation: Web service access for distributed deployments
Runtime Selection: Dynamic backend selection based on connection type

1.2.3 Plugin Architecture

Modular Design: Core system with pluggable modules
Dynamic Loading: Runtime module discovery and initialization
Extensibility: New functionality added without core system changes
Isolation: Module failures don't affect core system stability

2.1.2 Key Architectural Patterns

MVVM Pattern Implementation

Views: XAML-based user interfaces with minimal code-behind
ViewModels: Business logic presentation layer with data binding
Models: Domain entities and data transfer objects
Commands: ICommand implementations for user actions
Messaging: Loose coupling through message passing

Dependency Injection with Castle Windsor

public class ClassContainer
{
    private WindsorContainer _rootContainer;
    private WindsorContainer _databaseContainer;    // BL implementations
    private WindsorContainer _webServiceContainer;  // WS implementations

    public void SetContext(CentronConnectionType connectionType)
    {
        // Dynamic container selection based on connection type
        _currentContainer = connectionType switch
        {
            CentronConnectionType.SqlServer => _databaseContainer,
            CentronConnectionType.CentronWebServices => _webServiceContainer,
            _ => throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException()
        };
    }
}

Module System Architecture

public interface ICentronAppModuleController
{
    string ModuleName { get; }
    UserRight[] RequiredRights { get; }
    bool CanLoad(IServiceProvider services);
    Task<bool> LoadAsync();
    Task<bool> UnloadAsync();
}

2.2 Backend Architecture (src/backend/)

│   └── Helpdesk/              # Support entities
└── WebServices/                # DTO entities for web services

2.2.2 Data Access Patterns

Dual Implementation Pattern

// Interface definition
public interface ICustomerLogic
{
    Task<Result<Customer[]>> GetCustomersAsync(CustomerFilter filter);
    Task<Result<Customer>> SaveCustomerAsync(Customer customer);
}

// BL Implementation (Direct database access)
public class BLCustomerLogic : BaseBL, ICustomerLogic
{
    public async Task<Result<Customer[]>> GetCustomersAsync(CustomerFilter filter)
    {
        using var session = NHibernateHelper.GetSession();
        // Direct NHibernate query execution
        return await ExecuteAsync(() =>
            session.QueryOver<Customer>().List().ToArray());
    }
}

// WS Implementation (Web service access)
public class WSCustomerLogic : ICustomerLogic
{
    private readonly IRestClient _restClient;

    public async Task<Result<Customer[]>> GetCustomersAsync(CustomerFilter filter)
    {
        var request = new Request<CustomerFilter> { Data = filter };
        var response = await _restClient.PostAsync<Response<CustomerDTO[]>>(
            "GetCustomers", request);
        // Convert DTOs to entities
        return ConvertCustomerDTOsToCustomers(response.Data);
    }
}

Repository Pattern with NHibernate

public class CustomerRepository : BaseRepository<Customer>
{
    public async Task<Customer[]> FindByCompanyNameAsync(string companyName)
    {
        using var session = GetSession();
        return await session.QueryOver<Customer>()
            .WhereRestrictionOn(c => c.CompanyName)
            .IsLike($"%{companyName}%")
            .ListAsync();
    }
}

2.3 Web Service Architecture (src/webservice/)

2.3.1 Hosting Architecture

Multi-Host Support

Windows Service Host (Centron.Host.WindowsService): Production deployment
Console Host (Centron.Host.Console): Development and debugging
ASP.NET Core Host (Centron.Host): Web-based deployment

Service Configuration

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddSingleton<ICentronRestService, CentronRestService>();
        services.AddScoped<ICustomerWebServiceLogic, CustomerWebServiceLogic>();
        services.AddDbContext<CentronDbContext>(options =>
            options.UseSqlServer(connectionString));
    }
}

2.3.2 REST Service Implementation

Interface Partitioning

ICentronRestService (Partial Interfaces):
├── ICentronRestService.Administration.cs    # User and system administration
├── ICentronRestService.Finances.cs          # Financial operations
├── ICentronRestService.Helpdesk.cs          # Support and ticketing
├── ICentronRestService.ArticleManagement.cs # Product management
├── ICentronRestService.CrmProjects.cs       # CRM and project management
└── ICentronRestService.Notifications.cs    # Notification services

WebService BL Pattern

public class CustomerWebServiceBL : BaseBL
{
    private readonly CustomerBL _customerBL;

    public CustomerWebServiceBL()
    {
        _customerBL = new CustomerBL();
    }

    public async Task<Result<CustomerDTO[]>> GetCustomersAsync(CustomerFilter filter)
    {
        // Call base BL for business logic
        var result = await _customerBL.GetCustomersAsync(filter);
        if (result.HasError) return result.AsError<CustomerDTO[]>();

        // Convert entities to DTOs (disconnected from NHibernate context)
        var dtos = ObjectMapper.Map<CustomerDTO[]>(result.Data);
        return Result.AsSuccess(dtos);
    }
}

2.4 Integration Architecture (src/apis/)

2.4.2 Integration Patterns

Standardized Client Interface

public interface IExternalApiClient
{
    bool IsInitialized { get; }
    bool IsAuthenticated { get; }
    Task<Result> AuthenticateAsync(AuthenticationRequest request);
    Task<Result<T>> GetAsync<T>(string endpoint, object parameters = null);
    Task<Result<T>> PostAsync<T>(string endpoint, object data);
}

Error Handling and Resilience

public class ResilientApiClient : IExternalApiClient
{
    private readonly IRetryPolicy _retryPolicy;
    private readonly ICircuitBreaker _circuitBreaker;

    public async Task<Result<T>> PostAsync<T>(string endpoint, object data)
    {
        return await _retryPolicy.ExecuteAsync(async () =>
        {
            return await _circuitBreaker.ExecuteAsync(async () =>
            {
                // Actual API call
                return await ExecuteHttpRequestAsync<T>(endpoint, data);
            });
        });
    }
}

5. Performance Architecture

5.1 Performance Optimization Strategies

5.1.1 Database Performance

Query Optimization

Lazy Loading: NHibernate lazy loading for related entities
Query Batching: Batch multiple queries to reduce round trips
Caching: Second-level cache for frequently accessed data
Indexing: Strategic database indexing for performance

public class CustomerMapping : ClassMap<Customer>
{
    public CustomerMapping()
    {
        // Lazy loading configuration
        References(x => x.Address).LazyLoad();

        {
            CustomerId = customerId,
            SyncTimestamp = DateTime.UtcNow,
            RequiredSystems = new[] { "FinAPI", "CRM", "Helpdesk" }
        });
    }
}

public class CustomerDataSyncHandler : IEventHandler<CustomerDataSyncRequested>
{
    public async Task HandleAsync(CustomerDataSyncRequested @event)
    {
        // Coordinate synchronization across systems
        var syncTasks = @event.RequiredSystems.Select(system =>
            SynchronizeWithSystemAsync(system, @event.CustomerId));
