Ted, Matt, Joe, and all the other helpful folks that chimed in earlier on persistence mechanisms:
In trying to keep with best practices, I've managed to remove all "model" related code (business logic, and persistence) out of the Actions' execute() method. Now I'd like to take it one step further and decouple the business model classes from the implementing persistence technology (btw, settled on OJB for now :). From Joe's post, it seems like the DAO pattern is called for to accomplish this. My (slightly off topic) question is this: who develops their own DAO framework (like the dao and dao factory interfaces), and who uses a 3rd party framework (like iBATIS's Database Layer) and why? There was something mentioned about the discovery of the persistence mechanism as well... Any references to webpages/books would be appreciated. BTW, I've been shamelessly posting to this list questions that are probably better directed elsewhere. What would be a more appropriate list?
