Spring Roo with a services/DAO architecture

[sandstorm]

All I am saying is that records should not be 'active'.

It is BOILER PLATE.

account.calculateYearEndResults()

should be (in ServiceManager class)

public Result calculateYearEndResults(Account a)

In short: records should be minimal javabeans. only getters and setters.


in other words:

what OOP should have done, here its done by a tool which is bad (which doesnt mean that the tool does only what OOP can do).

However, transactions at the entity layer will, by default, participate in a transaction declared in a service.

there is no entity layer.

entities MUST NOT have a field of type EntityManager !
that is a sufficient condition for all problems to go away.
