The gurus seem to be of the opinion that it is better to have smart data
objects and dumb code to manipulate them.

I am now convinced that this is arse-about, putting the back-end cart
before the horse, as it were. Better to put all the smarts in one layer,
the middleware, and use database back-ends in a dumb fashion, and
thin-client Web interfaces (so the interface smarts are very closely
integrated with the business logic in teh same set of classes in the
middleware layer, which all runs on the server).
