Service to Service method call

[newtospring80]

Hi,

I am using Service/DAO architecture in my project with the service layer implemented in Spring and DAO layer in Hibernate.

I have one architecture related question:
Can I call a service method from a different service method? I know I can use multiple DAOs in a service but not sure if I can use a other services in a service.

If yes, should that service be injected using applicationContext?

If no, how do I avoid code duplication?

Any help!!!

Thanks.

Yes, I think services should be able to call other services. Yes inject it with Spring, why wouldn't you?
