I just started using OJB and so far so good. I'm confused about the dynamic proxies. Previous to OJB, my object model used inheritance but no interfaces. Because I want lazy loading, I created an interface for nearly every class. I simply named these interfaces 'I + classname' e.g. Account now has an interface IAccount. I noticed that I had to change my cast from the class to the interface when retrieving collection elements.
1. My application is substantially complete and has many references to the class names e.g. Account. it seems I should have used the scheme Account(interface) & AccountImpl(class) in order to avoid breaking my application code references to Account, RIGHT? 2. When casting objects from a collection, should I cast to the class name or proxy interface name? 3. Must I include the full hierarchy, including interfaces, in my repository.xml even though the interfaces are for dynamic proxies only? 4. In the repository.xml, it seems that all superclass elements must be duplicated in each subclass? Is that correct?
