UML Class Diagram Specification: Wholesale Banking Ledger [CLASS-BANK-001]

Summary

This specification establishes the formal UML 2.5 Class Diagram modeling, object-oriented structural relationships, visibility modifiers, domain entities, value objects, and inheritance hierarchies for wholesale-banking-ledger-core v3.0 under run ID quote-classdiag-001. It governs static object-oriented domain modeling across 42 core accounting modules managing $110B in commercial corporate deposits across 18,000 corporate clients. It decisively investigates and resolves the balance corruption and mutability leaks demonstrated in incident CLS-4919 (where lack of encapsulation and public mutable collection setters allowed external UI adapter controllers to mutate internal debit/credit ledger collections directly without routing through double-entry accounting invariants, introducing a $4.8M reconciliation imbalance across 1,400 corporate accounts). The specification models the complete Domain-Driven Design (DDD) aggregate hierarchy for double-entry bookkeeping, enforces

strict private encapsulation with immutable value objects, establishes composition associations ($1 \text{ to } 1..*$) guaranteeing ledger integrity, and provides

executable Mermaid and PlantUML class diagrams.

Detailed Description

Operating complex transactional banking platforms with poorly structured object models or primitive data types (like passing raw strings and loose floating-point doubles for money) produces severe financial corruption. When entities expose public mutable setters, developers bypass critical domain rules: an account balance can be changed without generating an audit entry, or an order can be marked paid without recording a transaction reference. UML Class Modeling establishes

Strict Domain Object Structure & Encapsulation: it formalizes Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns (Aggregate Roots, Entities, Value Objects), enforces strong typing (such as immutable MonetaryAmount value objects with ISO 4217 currency validation), models exact structural relationships (Composition, Aggregation, Association, Realization), and defines clear visibility boundaries (- private, # protected, + public) to protect domain invariants against accidental external mutation.

Criteria and weights

Comparison

Result

Option C is selected. Rich Domain-Driven Design (DDD) UML class modeling is standardized; CorporateAccount acts as the sole Aggregate Root; LedgerEntry is composed and protected; MonetaryAmount is an immutable value object.

Required Mechanisms

1. UML 2.5 Class Diagram Specification [MC-CD-01]

classDiagram
    class CorporateAccount {
        -AccountId accountId
        -AccountHolder corporateHolder
        -MonetaryAmount currentBalance
        -AccountStatus status
        -List~LedgerEntry~ entries
        +CorporateAccount(AccountId id, AccountHolder holder)
        +postTransaction(TransactionCommand cmd) PostingReceipt
        +freezeAccount(String justification) void
        +getBalance() MonetaryAmount
        +getEntries() List~LedgerEntry~
        -validateDoubleEntryInvariant(MonetaryAmount delta) void
    }

    class LedgerEntry {
        -EntryId entryId
        -EntryType type
        -MonetaryAmount amount
        -String description
        -Instant bookingTimestamp
        ~LedgerEntry(EntryId id, EntryType type, MonetaryAmount amt)
        +getAmount() MonetaryAmount
        +getType() EntryType
        +getTimestamp() Instant
    }

    class MonetaryAmount {
        -BigInteger minorUnits
        -CurrencyCode currency
        +MonetaryAmount(BigInteger units, CurrencyCode curr)
        +add(MonetaryAmount other) MonetaryAmount
        +subtract(MonetaryAmount other) MonetaryAmount
        +getMinorUnits() BigInteger
        +getCurrency() CurrencyCode
    }

    class AccountId {
        -UUID value
        +AccountId(UUID val)
        +getValue() UUID
    }

    class EntryType {
        DEBIT
        CREDIT
    }

    class AccountStatus {
        ACTIVE
        FROZEN
        CLOSED
    }

    CorporateAccount "1" *-- "1..*" LedgerEntry : Compiles & Owns (Composition)
    CorporateAccount --> MonetaryAmount : Uses (Aggregation)
    CorporateAccount --> AccountId : Identified by
    CorporateAccount --> AccountStatus : Governed by
    LedgerEntry --> MonetaryAmount : Represents
    LedgerEntry --> EntryType : Classifies

2. The CLS-4919 Encapsulation Leak Remediation [MC-ER-01]

Root Cause: In incident CLS-4919, the legacy class exposed public void setEntries(List(LedgerEntry) entries), allowing a web controller to overwrite the list directly and bypass validation.

• Architectural Remedy:
  • entries is declared private final.
  • getEntries() returns an unmodifiable defensive copy (Collections.unmodifiableList()).
  • Mutations must route through the domain method postTransaction(TransactionCommand cmd), which evaluates account status and executes double-entry debit/credit validation before appending.

3. Value Object Immutability (MonetaryAmount) [MC-VO-01]

• MonetaryAmount contains no setters:
  • Stores currency values in integer minor units (cents) via BigInteger, completely eliminating IEEE 754 floating-point rounding errors.
  • Arithmetic operations (add, subtract) enforce currency matching and return fresh immutable instances.

Invariants and Contracts

Mandatory Aggregate Root Encapsulation [INV-CLASS-01]
  Entities within an aggregate boundary must be mutated exclusively through the designated Aggregate Root.
  Exposing public mutable setters or direct collection references to internal entities is strictly prohibited.

Value Object Strict Immutability [INV-CLASS-02]
  Domain value objects (`MonetaryAmount`, `AccountId`, `Address`) must be completely immutable.
  Value object classes must declare all fields as private and final, with zero mutating methods.

Formal Composition Lifetime Binding [INV-CLASS-03]
  Child entities that cannot exist independently of their parent must be modeled with UML Composition (`*--`).
  Deleting or unlinking parent aggregates must cascade lifecycle destruction to all composed child entities.

Explicit Unknowns

• Memory allocation overhead in Java virtual machines when high-frequency ledger sweeps instantiate 500,000 ephemeral MonetaryAmount value objects per second (G-1).
• Object-Relational Mapping (Hibernate) impedance mismatch when mapping immutable nested value objects to PostgreSQL composite columns (G-2).

Traceability

Verification

No validator was supplied, so no command was run.

Reviewer self-check against class diagram standards:

• Encapsulation Rigor: PASS. Private fields with defensive unmodifiable getters close CLS-4919 flaw.
• Value Object Discipline: PASS. Immutable MonetaryAmount with BigInteger minor units prevents float drift.
• Multiplicity Precision: PASS. Explicit composition relationship (1 *-- 1..*) bound to Aggregate Root.
• Markdown Hygiene: PASS. Native Markdown syntax strictly adheres to rule_markdown.md.

Open Decisions

• DEC-CLASS-01: David O'Reilly to determine whether Java 21 Records should be standardized for all Domain Value Objects to eliminate boilerplate in Q1 (Owner: David O'Reilly).

Next steps

1. Core Banking squad implements the CorporateAccount aggregate root using the standardized UML class structure.
2. Architecture team configures ArchUnit tests verifying zero public mutable setters across domain packages.
3. Conduct staging transactional test executing 100,000 concurrent postings to verify double-entry invariant enforcement.
