Hello everyone, I finished up a new proposal that would greatly enhance domain driven development with the ZF: A generic data mapper component.
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Db_Mapper+-+Benjamin+Eberlei Its a contrasting proposal to Zend_Db_Table, for handling the underlying persistence of your application layer. Its aiming at enterprise developers that need to do more than the usually siple BlogPosts <-> Comments <-> Tags examples. The core concept is the Record (Entity Pattern) centric datastrcuture, rather than the SQL datastructure. You build your applications domain logic of record objects that communicate to each other and then persist them into the database at the end of your session with following a defined mapping scheme. This component therefore tries to achieve the separation of Business logic from the underlying persistence. comments are greatly appreciated, Benjamin -- Benjamin Eberlei http://www.beberlei.de
