But if you are not thinking of using Hibernate for other objects, then it is probably a waste of time indroducing hibernate to the project. It's an art to select the right tool for the right job ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783320.post-1131560706614218142005-11-09T18:25:00.000+00:002005-11-09T18:25:00.000+00:00DTO is, as you say, data-transfer-object. We are, ...DTO is, as you say, data-transfer-object. We are, actually, using a whole inheritance-tree of DTOs.<BR/><BR/>I have a publish-subscribe application. One of the subscribers is a logger, i.e., it subscribes to all the DTOs being sent from the publisher and stores them to a database. This is not done for auditing, but rather to do post-processing on the data contained in the DTOs (statistical work mostly). The DTOs are never actually revived from the DB. <BR/><BR/>I think in this case it would not be useful to use NHibernate, or what do you think?Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107031974051297199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783320.post-1131543156636077362005-11-09T13:32:00.000+00:002005-11-09T13:32:00.000+00:00Could you please explain the DTO model part a bit....Could you please explain the DTO model part a bit. Are you talking about "Data Transfer Objects" pattern as used in remote calls, or does maybe your problem domain use this acronym for something else. Does one DTO thingy map to an entity/entry in your DB, or are the DTOs simply used for calculations and the outcome is stored in the DB? (I'm a bit confused sorry ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
