My reply has taken just as long ... I am on leave at
the moment with child #3 :-)
I left the original msg unsnipped for reference.
To answer your questions:
1. What was my goal?
It was a type of end to end test. The test's point of
entry was the InvestorWebService object. I asked the
InvestorWebService for a PersonDTO (a person is one
investor type), modified it, and sent it to the update
method on the InvestorWebService.
To check that this indeed worked as expected, in that
all the tables in DB were updated as expected, I used
DbUnit to assert that the tables matched XML datasets.
2. Responsibilities
The InvestorWebService is responsible for returning an
investor as a DTO. It uses a DAO object (this is
instantiated using Spring) to retrieve an investor
business object. The DAO uses Hibernate to retreive
the requested investor object.
The InvestorWebService is responsible for updating an
investor from a passed DTO. It uses a DAO object
(this is instantiated using Spring) to update an
investor business object. The DAO uses Hibernate to
update the requested investor object.
Hibernate ultimately updates the database.
Is that enough to start some discussion on your ideas?
Cheers
Shane
