Warning: long reply follows. I've done this recently, not so much from a DDD perspective but driven by performance constraints. The goal was online translation...
Hi Dru How about a bit of 'Test First?' I assume that you have some working software. I'd try to provide some tests that confirm the existing user interactions...
While not super on point, it does however shed a ton of light into a different but related area. THANKS!!!! If what I was trying to model was the process of...
I totally hear you on the TDD, I am working towards this right now. One of my hurdles is getting my MicroKernel (Castle) set up so that I can use the ...
I thought that in your scenario you notify customers of translations that are out of date. So apparently they are involved in the translation process. Hence my...
I thought I'd do try some posts to see if I can get some help in trying to refactor a prototype end user query tool application along the lines of DDD. This...
I am thinking that lookup objects that are structures(Value classes) could have factory methods hangning off of the class as static methods. So if you had a...
Works but requires a code change every time a new lookup value is introduced. May be OK for straightforward lookups such as status but quickly goes off-track...
Because enums require code recompile when the domain is extended. Enums work fine for 'technical' lookups such as a process status or some condition in the...
I never really thought of having to recompile as being an issue, but I guess I can kind of see it. Hmmmm, Bert, how do you handle look up values. Right now I...
Hi. Dru, your last message come to mind me one of our frequent problem. Lets suppose we have an Order entity and it has an OrderPriority value object....
Zsolt, That is exactly my problem with lookups. I have yet to find a satisfactory answer to it either. dru _____ From: domaindrivendesign@yahoogroups.com ...
Yeah, but an enum is good enough until the client starts asking for new values. I usually start with an Enum then refactor to a full blown properties or...
One of the design decisions that I'm currently "struggling" with is how best to design the integration between my services layer and my domain layer. My ...
Does this help? What if the 'values' here were not separated from the behaviour of the domain object? Could the domain object itself reveal suitable 'values'...
Steve, I would suggest more coarse grained messages than CRUD on domain entities. For instance, adding a new customer might be too high-resolution. Consider ...

Absolutely agree. The sample I provided probably isn't very realistic. The "problem" that I'm looking at is still relevant. A part of the "Open Account ...
