Hi Randy, Thanks for the response. Yeah, I do also favour using a Service Layer, even in non-distributed applications. Essentially: Web Client -> Business...
Has anyone experimented with using Pico or Spring with POJO services? The business delegate layer bugs me a bit. Might make sense to "hide clients from the...
Randy, Just to be clear, if using SSB EJB's as your service objects, any persistence operations (lazy loads) that occur outside the service layer (EJB) would...
There is another option. I don't know if there is a pattern name for it but in .NET they call it DataSet and now in Java they call it DataGraph (see the JSR...

Steve, First let me just say, this is a great topic - not just because I need to explore these issue, but because it's not really talked about in the book (or...

Randy, Thanks for your helpful reply. Regarding distributed transactions: We just start and stop a JTA transaction in our servlet filter, so we get XA...

... I see. Sorry for the idiot post, then. As for how to partition a domain model into services, I don't think of it that way. I need to re-read DDD, but in...
Actually, I think there is a deep question here. Is a domain object most properly an abstraction of some thing in the problem domain, or is it OK to group...
<academic-theory> Good question. I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of a fixed service layer and have trouble grasping it. It seems to me that most things...
