Object Value and Hibernate classes : the same ?

fmourioux · **Joined:** Mon Sep 15, 2003 9:10 am **Posts:** 43

i have in my application differents layers :

- application
- dao
- service
- ui (mvc : struts)

In my action, i call a factory of services which return a service implementation of users : UsersService. Then i call UsersService.getUser(login, password), it is return me a User class.

User is (for me) :
- an object value
- User is a class generated by hibernate from an hbm.xml.

Is it a good way ?

Can i use the classes generate by hibernate for objects values VO in my service ?

Thanks,

Fabien.

Is it always a good or better way to do this :
---------------------------------------------------

A generate file from mapping like this :

class _User {

.....

}

A entreprise object like :

class VOUser extends _User{

.....

fields and methods than doesn't need to persist in database

}

Is it always a good way, you need to map "VOUser" for this.
Sometimes this way is better:

class VOUser extends UIObject{

_User getUser()
.....

fields and methods than doesn't need to persist in database

}

or

class VOUser extends UIObject{

void paint(_User user);
.....

fields and methods than doesn't need to persist in database

}
