Sure. As always, this is a personal view, but seems to reflect much of the de facto standard way of building apps in static typed languages these days:
AR pros - Really fast to get something started - Mapping is inferred, with a few sematic attributes AR cons: - Intrusive: both the attributes and sometimes the Model is tainted with persistence stuff that doesnt belong in the domain - You give up some fine grained NH control - The persistence strategy isn't easily reversible Since http://www.fluentnhibernate.org/ came along, I dont see much reason to use AR. Just go with pure NH without the XML. Now, if NH is a problem (and to some it is), go with something even lighter: https://code.google.com/p/dapper-dot-net/ Hope this helps On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 11:08 PM, Jan Flyborg <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the answer.
