PR> http://www.martinfowler.com/isa/dataTransferObject.html. Actually that's the resource I looked at and he mentions how some use the term ValueObject to represent what he is calling a DTO. He also mentions about capturing as much information as possible in the DTO which is why I'm confused how this could get passed directly off to a DAO since I would think the DAO would have to do a lot of business logic in order to handle a DTO directly. PR> U might want to check on the J2EE pattern called ValueObjectAssembler. Thanks, I will look for that resource. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
