Java Development - Alibaba Coding Guidelines

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive Java development guidance based on the Alibaba Java Coding Guidelines (Songshan Edition). It ensures all Java code follows industry best practices covering naming conventions, coding standards, concurrency, exception handling, database design, security, testing, and architectural design.

Core Principles

When writing Java code, always follow these fundamental principles:

1. Code Readability: Write code that is easy to understand and maintain
2. Consistency: Follow consistent naming and formatting conventions
3. Safety First: Prevent common pitfalls like NPE, SQL injection, and concurrency issues
4. Performance Awareness: Consider performance implications of design decisions
5. Test Coverage: Ensure adequate unit test coverage for critical code

Quick Reference

Naming Conventions

• Classes: UpperCamelCase (e.g., UserService, OrderController)
• Methods/Variables: lowerCamelCase (e.g., getUserById, userName)
• Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., MAX_COUNT, DEFAULT_SIZE)
• Packages: lowercase, single word preferred (e.g., com.company.module)

Common Patterns

• Abstract classes: Abstract* or Base* prefix
• Exception classes: *Exception suffix
• Test classes: *Test suffix
• Service implementations: *Impl suffix
• Boolean variables: No is prefix in POJO classes
• DAO methods: get* (single), list* (multiple), count*, save*, remove*, update*

Critical Rules

• ❌ Never use magic numbers directly in code
• ❌ Never catch exceptions without handling them
• ❌ Never use == to compare wrapper types (use equals())
• ❌ Never create threads directly (use thread pools)
• ❌ Never use SELECT * in SQL queries
• ✅ Always use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
• ✅ Always specify initial capacity for collections when size is known
• ✅ Always close resources in finally blocks or use try-with-resources
• ✅ Always validate external inputs

Workflow

1. Before Writing Code

Check the detailed guidelines:

• For naming rules → See naming-conventions.md
• For coding standards → See coding-standards.md
• For concurrency → See concurrency.md
• For database design → See database.md
• For security → See security.md
• For testing → See testing.md
• For design patterns → See design.md

2. Writing Code

Apply the following checks as you write:

Naming

• Class names use UpperCamelCase
• Method/variable names use lowerCamelCase
• Constants use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
• Meaningful English names (no pinyin)

Code Structure

• Methods under 80 lines
• Single responsibility per class/method
• Proper access modifiers (private by default)
• Use @Override for overridden methods

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ Wrong: Magic numbers
if (status == 1) { ... }

// ✅ Correct: Named constants
private static final int STATUS_ACTIVE = 1;
if (status == STATUS_ACTIVE) { ... }

// ❌ Wrong: Comparing wrapper types with ==
Integer a = 128;
Integer b = 128;
if (a == b) { ... }  // May fail!

// ✅ Correct: Use equals()
if (a.equals(b)) { ... }

// ❌ Wrong: Empty catch block
try {
    doSomething();
} catch (Exception e) {
    // Silent failure
}

// ✅ Correct: Handle or rethrow
try {
    doSomething();
} catch (Exception e) {
    logger.error("Failed to do something", e);
    throw new BusinessException("Operation failed", e);
}

// ❌ Wrong: Creating threads directly
new Thread(() -> doWork()).start();

// ✅ Correct: Use thread pool
ExecutorService executor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
    corePoolSize, maxPoolSize, keepAliveTime,
    TimeUnit.SECONDS, new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(),
    new ThreadFactoryBuilder().setNameFormat("worker-%d").build()
);
executor.submit(() -> doWork());

3. Database Operations

Table Design

• Table names: lowercase with underscores (e.g., user_order)
• Required fields: id, create_time, update_time
• Boolean fields: is_* prefix (e.g., is_deleted)
• Use BIGINT UNSIGNED for IDs
• Use DECIMAL for monetary values (never FLOAT or DOUBLE)

SQL Best Practices

// ✅ Correct: Parameterized query
String sql = "SELECT id, user_name, email FROM user WHERE id = ?";
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
ps.setLong(1, userId);

// ✅ Correct: MyBatis parameter binding
@Select("SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_name = #{userName}")
User selectByUserName(@Param("userName") String userName);

// ❌ Wrong: String concatenation (SQL injection risk!)
String sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_name = '" + userName + "'";

4. Exception Handling

Exception Hierarchy

• Use specific exception types
• Checked exceptions for recoverable errors
• Unchecked exceptions for programming errors
• Always include context in exception messages

// ✅ Correct exception handling
public User getUserById(Long userId) {
    if (userId == null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("userId cannot be null");
    }

    User user = userDao.selectById(userId);
    if (user == null) {
        throw new NotFoundException("User not found: " + userId);
    }

    return user;
}

// ✅ Correct logging with exception
try {
    processOrder(order);
} catch (Exception e) {
    logger.error("Failed to process order, orderId: {}", order.getId(), e);
    throw new BusinessException("订单处理失败", e);
}

5. Concurrency

Thread Safety Rules

• Use ThreadPoolExecutor instead of Executors
• Name your threads for debugging
• Use volatile for visibility, AtomicXxx for atomic operations
• Avoid SimpleDateFormat in multi-threaded code (use DateTimeFormatter)
• Clean up ThreadLocal variables

// ✅ Correct: Thread pool with proper configuration
ThreadPoolExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
    10,  // corePoolSize
    20,  // maximumPoolSize
    60L, // keepAliveTime
    TimeUnit.SECONDS,
    new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(100),
    new ThreadFactoryBuilder().setNameFormat("order-processor-%d").build(),
    new ThreadPoolExecutor.CallerRunsPolicy()
);

// ✅ Correct: ThreadLocal cleanup
private static final ThreadLocal<User> USER_CONTEXT = new ThreadLocal<>();

public void processRequest() {
    try {
        USER_CONTEXT.set(getCurrentUser());
        // Process request
    } finally {
        USER_CONTEXT.remove();  // Critical: prevent memory leak
    }
}

6. Security

Input Validation

• Validate all external inputs
• Use parameterized queries (never string concatenation)
• Sanitize HTML output to prevent XSS
• Implement CSRF protection
• Mask sensitive data in logs

// ✅ Correct: Input validation
public void createUser(UserCreateRequest request) {
    if (StringUtils.isBlank(request.getUserName())) {
        throw new ValidationException("用户名不能为空");
    }
    if (!ValidationUtils.isValidMobile(request.getMobile())) {
        throw new ValidationException("手机号格式不正确");
    }
    // Process...
}

// ✅ Correct: Sensitive data masking
logger.info("User login, mobile: {}", maskMobile(user.getMobile()));

7. Unit Testing

Testing Standards

• Test class naming: *Test
• Test method naming: test*
• Target coverage: 70% statement coverage minimum
• Use JUnit 5 + Mockito
• Follow BCDE principle (Border, Correct, Design, Error)

@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
public class UserServiceTest {

    @Mock
    private UserDao userDao;

    @InjectMocks
    private UserService userService;

    @Test
    @DisplayName("根据ID获取用户 - 正常情况")
    public void testGetUserById_Success() {
        // Given
        Long userId = 1L;
        User mockUser = new User();
        mockUser.setId(userId);
        mockUser.setUserName("test");
        when(userDao.selectById(userId)).thenReturn(mockUser);

        // When
        User result = userService.getUserById(userId);

        // Then
        assertNotNull(result);
        assertEquals(userId, result.getId());
        verify(userDao, times(1)).selectById(userId);
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("根据ID获取用户 - 参数为null")
    public void testGetUserById_NullParameter() {
        assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> {
            userService.getUserById(null);
        });
    }
}
