Hi All, I have many domain models where each has its own data mapper. These mappers are spread across many places as a) services use mappers, b) mapper x uses mapper y, c) and even models use mappers (only in the case of lazy loading).
I want mappers to utilize the identity map pattern (which is itself pretty straightforward). I guess the whole pattern makes more sense when used as a shared map across the mappers rather than for each to have its own. Since the mappers usage (and instantiation) is wide spread (at least in my case), the only solution I could think of is always a sort of a static one (either through static members, or static "managers", or even some injectable containers which default to static Zend_Registry). What would you suggest, other than the static way? Thank you in advance. M.
