I love being able to determine my object composition without having to worry about whether or not I need to compose Singletons within transients. I will make a small conceptual distinction. ActiveRecord is strictly speaking (as the name implies) used for cases where the object represents a record in a single table. Because I use some ORM features, I don't actually do ActiveRecord. I do however compose persistence via my beans as to me it is lexically more OO even though User.save() is not a definitively better or worse solution to the almost identical UserService.save(User) service layer approach. Also, I *do* use service methods for aggregate access. I never liked the idea of User.getList() - I prefer to set UserCollection = UserService.getList().
