# Refactoring Summary: Troostwijk Auction Monitor ## Overview This project has been refactored to focus on **image processing and monitoring**, removing all auction/lot scraping functionality which is now handled by the external `ARCHITECTURE-TROOSTWIJK-SCRAPER` process. ## Architecture Changes ### Removed Components - ❌ **TroostwijkScraper.java** - Removed (replaced by TroostwijkMonitor) - ❌ Auction discovery and scraping logic - ❌ Lot scraping via Playwright/JSoup - ❌ CacheDatabase (can be removed if not used elsewhere) ### New/Updated Components #### New Classes - ✅ **TroostwijkMonitor.java** - Monitors bids and coordinates services (no scraping) - ✅ **ImageProcessingService.java** - Downloads images and runs object detection - ✅ **Console.java** - Simple output utility (renamed from IO to avoid Java 25 conflict) #### Modernized Classes - ✅ **AuctionInfo** - Converted to immutable `record` - ✅ **Lot** - Converted to immutable `record` with `minutesUntilClose()` method - ✅ **DatabaseService.java** - Uses modern Java features: - Text blocks (`"""`) for SQL - Record accessor methods - Added `getImagesForLot()` method - Added `processed_at` timestamp to images table - Nested `ImageRecord` record #### Preserved Components - ✅ **NotificationService.java** - Desktop/email notifications - ✅ **ObjectDetectionService.java** - YOLO-based object detection - ✅ **Main.java** - Updated to use new architecture ## Database Schema ### Populated by External Scraper - `auctions` table - Auction metadata - `lots` table - Lot details with bidding info ### Populated by This Process - `images` table - Downloaded images with: - `file_path` - Local storage path - `labels` - Detected objects (comma-separated) - `processed_at` - Processing timestamp ## Modern Java Features Used - **Records** - Immutable data carriers (AuctionInfo, Lot, ImageRecord) - **Text Blocks** - Multi-line SQL queries - **var** - Type inference throughout - **Switch expressions** - Where applicable - **Pattern matching** - Ready for future enhancements ## Responsibilities ### This Project 1. ✅ Image downloading from URLs in database 2. ✅ Object detection using YOLO/OpenCV 3. ✅ Bid monitoring and change detection 4. ✅ Desktop and email notifications 5. ✅ Data enrichment with image analysis ### External ARCHITECTURE-TROOSTWIJK-SCRAPER 1. 🔄 Discover auctions from Troostwijk website 2. 🔄 Scrape lot details via API 3. 🔄 Populate `auctions` and `lots` tables 4. 🔄 Share database with this process ## Usage ### Running the Monitor ```bash # With environment variables export DATABASE_FILE=troostwijk.db export NOTIFICATION_CONFIG=desktop # or smtp:user:pass:email java -jar troostwijk-monitor.jar ``` ### Expected Output ``` === Troostwijk Auction Monitor === ✓ OpenCV loaded Initializing monitor... 📊 Current Database State: Total lots in database: 42 Total images processed: 0 [1/2] Processing images... Processing pending images... [2/2] Starting bid monitoring... ✓ Monitoring service started ✓ Monitor is running. Press Ctrl+C to stop. NOTE: This process expects auction/lot data from the external scraper. Make sure ARCHITECTURE-TROOSTWIJK-SCRAPER is running and populating the database. ``` ## Migration Notes 1. The project now compiles successfully with Java 25 2. All scraping logic removed - rely on external scraper 3. Shared database architecture for inter-process communication 4. Clean separation of concerns 5. Modern, maintainable codebase with records and text blocks ## Next Steps - Remove `CacheDatabase.java` if not needed - Consider adding API endpoint for external scraper to trigger image processing - Add metrics/logging framework - Consider message queue (e.g., Redis, RabbitMQ) for better inter-process communication
