Sorry if this is a repost, but I think the original got swallowed up when the server was misbehaving:
I have set up my Gateways with two ways of behaving. I return a query object for the multiple rows. I also have an optional parameter for any of my queries to populate an array of beans to exist in the instance scope of the gateway. That way I can use the query object to loop through if I find it more efficient (or for output). Or I can loop through the array and perform various DAO methods on the individual records. ----------------------------------- Gerry Gurevich Application Development NIEHS ITSS Contractor Lockheed Martin Information Technology 919-361-5444 ext 311 -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

Although I don't do any Java developing, I have found that DAO classes with everything gets unwieldy after a bit of time. Also, I like the idea of having my DAO access single records, while the Gateway is one or more. Secondly, typically my DAOs return populated beans while the Gateways returns cf query objects. .Peter -- Peter J.
